Overcome

[#1]

I currently use Outlook Express for my verizon email (better setup)

I have to go into the verizon site to delete all of my emails because deleting them from outlook does not remove them from the verizon server.  I was not aware of this until I had an overwhelming amount of emails in my verizon acct.  (Over 7,000):smileysad:

Anyways, it will only let me delete 50 at a time and is taking forever.  There must be a quicker way.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this quicker? 

Any help would be really great.

In OE, go to Tools -> Accounts.

Select your e-mail account.

Then go to the advanced tab. Remove the check mark for "Leave a copy of messages on server"

And press ok.

oh dear, that was awful.  I went through the steps and now it is downloading all of my emails from teh verizon acct. (over 6,000 of them) into my outlook mailbox.  Please help someone!!!

In the meantime as you wait for a faster way of deleting the mail on the server.

If you did what I told you to do:

#1 Once all of the messages are downloaded, you will never have that issue again.

#2 That is unless someone using your computer, changes that setting.. 😉


[EDIT]

Found something.

I do not know when it was added.
