How do I eliminate 5'000 unread e-mails from outlook without it freezing my computer? HELP. Need for new job

First create a new folder called inbox1 in Outlook. Move the emails you need to save into the new folder. Rename inbox to inbox2. Rename inbox1 to inbox. Delete folder inbox2.

NOTE: Do not have any other programs open when you do this.

The deletion process could take quite a while.

Once you start the delete, leave the computer alone

to finish. if you let it run it's course, it's not as likely

to freeze up on you.

When the deletion process finishes, reboot.

If you do this with patients, you should be successful.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

You may have to delete them in batches; tedious, but effective. Make sure all the emails you want to delete are grouped together, then click on the first email on the screen to highlight it. Hold down the Shift button and then push the page down button a few times to highlight a group of emails. Let up on the Shift button, and either click on the "X" (delete) icon on the Outlook toolbar, or hit the delete button on your keyboard. Repeat these steps until all the emails have been deleted.

None. I examine all of my emails earlier i'm getting on Y!A in many situations. in case you desire to envision all your emails with basically a pair of clicks, first decide on all of them. Then press "ok". till you're conversing approximately some thing different than Yahoo!Mail, wherein case, brush aside what I only mentioned.
