How to delete all email messages? - HD2 General

My HD2 somehow today downloaded all my messages from my Yahoo account, all 7000+ messages from several years! Does anyone know:
(1) How to delete all these messages from HD2? One by one takes too long!
(2) How to prevent HD2 from downloading all the messages again? I checked my email setting. It sets to only download the past 3 days message. I have no idea how it can even download several years messages. I thought my HD2 experienced the sleep of death.
Thank you!

go into your inbox by going to your mail tab and click all messages. once there click menu and go to tools and there should be something that says clear "your account name" mine happens to be gmail. It will delete all your messages off your phone but not from the server( Yahoo) now for the second part I have not figured a way, sounds like you need to startt deleting some junk mail or make a new account

You might want to try moving all your older messages online to a separate folder..."archived" or something similar...which should keep them from being DL'd to your phone again.

Email disappears from inobx?!

I noticed that sometimes an email will disappear from my inbox, and then when I search for it, or for all email from that person, it shows up in the search results but without an inbox tag on it (no tag at all so where is it??), so I move it back to the inbox and then it's fine again.
I think it happens when I read the email on my phone and then mark it as unread. But not sure if that's the main reason as I do this often and this has only happened with a few.
I noticed the same issue but never said anything. I got an email from an ad I posted on craigslist and when I went to back to reply the email was gone. I know it has done this to me a couple of time, most have been from craigslist and others from personal emails. What gives?
WTF it just happened again ...when I get a gmail on my mytouch and click on to see what it says. The next thing i know the email disappears, i loogged into the my gmail account on my computer and search for that email and I find it in the trash? Why is it doing this?
this happens to me too on my hero roms. are you guys on hero roms too if so which ones, if not, are you on stock roms?
it is kind of random.
Just open the mail app then press:
Menu -> More -> Settings -> Send & Receive -> Download options
Then select "By days", then scroll down and select "All"
Be happy
Sorry for posting to an old thread but seemed to be quite relevant.
I was also having the problem with my mail expiring and understand what happens now thanks to this thread.
If I change to "All" in the download options, is there anyway to limit the initial download to a set number of days or do I have to manually clear my mailbox? I know, its my own fault for having such a messy inbox, but can't really face deleting over 500 mails on my phone
Thanks for any help you can give.

maybe a stupid reply but did you re-set the 3 days time for your email downloads again? also I would check some settings in yahoo email as well... I dont know if that exists since I am not using yahoo mail, but in other mail programs there is an option to keep emails on the server or delete them after some designated time.

I still want the email on the server, just not on. the phone. also, I have it setup to check for new messages every five minutes, with notification, but it doesn't check automatically, just manually. any suggestions?

Emails wows

Hi
I've moved over from Winmo and I really like sgs but recently I've started having issuses with my emails. To cut a long story short, I had a problem with my handset which Vodafone kindly replaced with froyo 2.2 (previous handset had 2.1) and since then I've had problems with receiving email messages. The sgs is configured to connect to my work Exchange 2007 server and is set to check automatically (push) for new emails. I can go for about a day without receiving anything but yet my mailbox has new emails! I've tried different networks - I brought the phone unlocked, restarting, ending task ....... list goes on!
any ideas what I should do? I do sometimes see the error "connection error" in yellow at the top of the email app screen but it then disappears and start refreshing, again sometimes this does the trick and other times nothing happens.
please help!

If is set to check is set to check and that means that your server is not PUSHING email and on top of that your server doesn't allow SGS to check.
I have a Winmo phone configured as I can't rely on the SGS and that works 100% configured the same way!
I've also tried removing the account and re-creating which hasn't helped.
Could it be the phone itself? only 2 things have changed since it last worked, the hardware and the system software. We have other users using Android and its working fine for them
confused!
The stock samsung email is [email protected] Try K9 email from the market or try deleting your email accounts from the samsung app and use the 'Social Hub' app (also a stock Galaxy app made by Samsung) to add an exchange account as a 'push' type and see if that works.
How do I add the Exchange account to the Social Hub? Just try it now and all I see is my SMS messages but no option to Add an account, the menu button does nothing.
I will try K9 in the meantime
thanks
K9 have removed the Android version from their download site! any other ideas?

thanks mate but I'm sure our Exchange 2010 server doesn't support webdav. A note aside I think I know why the stock email client is not working correctly. What I have noticed is that when it does try and check for emails at the scheduled times, if for any reason it can't connect it stops and then doesn't re-try at the next interval, when I do a manual refresh I see all the "connection Error" messages popup at the top of the screen and once they have dissappeared, only then does it start receiving messages again.
any ideas?

[Q] Stupid E-Mail!

Wondered if anybody got a solution for this, really a trivial thing, but annoying for me.
I got the settings on 100mails, and autorefresh every hour.
then lets say i refresh my email, I get 4 marketing emails etc that i delete, then the email loads in 4 old emails in the inbox that ofcourse go on the bottom of the list since they are the oldest ones.. have to manually mark them as read. if I delete these ones also, it just loads in 4 new old mails...
think this is because the stock mail is persistent on keeping 100mails in the inbox at all times. and there is no option to have for the last 14 days instead .. any workaround for this? i like the stock mail app.
im rooted, cwm and xposed in regards of a workaround.
