Re: Deleting ALL mail at once

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

For most locally installed e-mail clients. Access your Inbox, select a message, press Control A to select all, then press the Delete Key.

If Hotmail, logon to mail.live.com, click on Inbox(left pane), click on the small box adjacent to the words 'Sort by'(doing so will select all messages in the folder) then click on Delete(in the Toolbar, directly above the 'Sort by')


When deleting messages in volume, it usually appropriate to make one final check prior to performing a global deletion.

I like the new fomrat, but want to start over. Is there ANY way to "check
all" and then delete ALL 700+ messages in my inbox? I truly really want to
wipe out the whole show and start over (I'm making new preferences &c).
HELP!!
