| 882646 | 2010-05-06 05:04:00 | An old account and I wanted to see if it still existed . It does . It also has more than 36,000 e-mails in it that I want to remove . Except for clicking on the 25 at a time and then deleting them as apparently the ONLY way to get rid of them, is there a better way to empty this huge mailbox? |

| 882648 | 2010-05-06 05:23:00 | Select all then click on delete. :) Doh! Did that and I only get 25 at a time that way. I tried it a couple of other ways and get this There was a problem! No message selected. Please select at least one message and try again. |

| 882650 | 2010-05-06 05:38:00 | Did you try Ctrl+A to select all? Or does that only give you 25 as well? |

| 882652 | 2010-05-06 05:53:00 | Found IT! I hadda upgrade to the new e-mail system and it's offered as an option to delete 25,000 at a time. Silly Yabbao! |

| 882653 | 2010-05-06 08:32:00 | You deleted them!!!?? Too bad about all those $$$$ that were yours for the taking if you simply sent them your bank account number or phone with your VISA number! Those poor bank officials must have a terrible job trying to get rid of their surpluses from relation-less people who died in car crashes. |

A very good point! Actually, if it has that many spam emails directed to it, it is obviously compromised. Don't know whether I would bother resurrecting it. Easier to get a new Gmail account (where the spam filtering works!)... |
