I have too many messages in my inbox....can someone help??
Ohkayy I currently have 11,416 unread messages [not including the ones I have read but haven't deleted yet....if counted then it'd be 13,000+] and I was wondering, does anybody have a fast and easier way to delete them all without losing messages that I really need?? Thanks....if there isn't a way, I'll just do it the long way :/

lol...it all happened too fast....i'd sign up for this and that and then they'd all send me mail and after awhile i just stopped reading my mail, but only from people i know....i'd usually start deleting after 1000, but i guess i got too busy....

My recommendation is to first switch to the new mail. It has all mail in a single list. No multiple pages. I would then click the box at the top to mark all of them. Then go through and uncheck a few of the latest and then delete all marked items. §
OMG! you need to keep up on your mail! Well, you could just delete them all. I really do't think there's a way to do massive amounts of deletion without deleting the important ones. If you create a folder for the ones you want to save and go through your inbox and put them there then you can delete a whole page at a time. There's a little box you can click on the left hand side and above the individual ones, there a box and if you click that one, you can do massive amounts of deletion.
You can see "View" in small fonts above the tabs "Delete, Spam" etc., click on it; You will get a scroll down list -- All messages, messages from my contacts, etc.; Select the one you want -- like unread messages if all of those are Unwanted messages; The messages only from that specific category will be displayed; If you want to delete all of those, check the box beside to "Sender" then click on "Delete". All of the message in one page will be deleted.
**For quicker procedure, increase the number of display e-mails to 200 (that is the maximum number of display e-mails)
