    you have to delete the email message they are attached to. you cannot delete individual photos, only the whole message.

    just download the pics you want to keep.

    you really should not be keeping unimportant old emails anyways.

    if you want to back the pictures up, us a USB Flash Drive.

    Why are you keeping photos in an email app?

    You can't delete the photo alone. You have to delete the whole message. The easiest way is to Select all then Delete but before you do that, Download all the good photos you want to keep first and save them in your Pictures folder.

    Just delete the email that holds the photo, and then delete it again from the Trash Folder.
