In the Email app I cannot find a way to select all the messages, but I have to select them one by one (for example if I want to empty the deleted mail). Is there an alternative way?
Thank you

You can clear all of the messages in one section. For example Trash. If you go to Trash and swipe down just a little you'll see two buttons, Clear and Edit. I have no idea what Edit does but Clear deletes all the messages

Can anyone tell me how to move read SMS into the Deleted folder? After choosing the Delete option they seem to get completely deleted, rather than being put in the Deleted folder. Is this normal? Even when going via the "All Messages" tab, the option of Move isn't available. I would like to be able to clear the Touch Flow message screen but edit the Deleted folder later.
Thanks.

True, the messages get completely deleted if deleting using touchflo. My method (to get deleted messages to deleted folder) is by going to "All messages" - SMS/MMS Inbox - Menu (bottom right) - delete. This should send the message to the "deleted folder".
Thanks, You've solved the problem!
But be careful, by default only 50 messages are kept in the "deleted" folder, so you might lose messages that way. You can increase this value with a tool like advanced config...
To keep the manilla sms page clean i created an "archive" folder where i move all old messages, so none get deleted and the sms page only shows the newest ones...
How did you create the extra folder? I have tried to do this but Manage Folders option in Tools is "greyed" out on mine. Might not be a problem as I've just noticed that I currently have 51 items in Deleted folder! Might not have a limit on my version but would still like to make additional folders.

How come on my version, there is NO "Extras" selection. There is no "Manage Folder" either.

This is how I worked around. Edit registry to disable chat mode.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Set SMSavailable=”0″ to disable chat mode (default is "1" = enabled)
Restart.
Go to "All Messages"
Menu - Tools - Manage Folders - menu driven from there.
Now you can move messages to the newly created folder including "Sent" messages. However I am not sure about the storage capacity allowed.

Method above is no good. It also kills the incoming SMS (sound) notification.
Follow this one. I've tested and works fine.

One thing that annoyed me about the iphone was having to delete every individual email to clear the inbox. Then, you'd have to go into the trash folder and start manually deleting them from there too. WM was great for this, you'd just hit "clear inbox" and they would all dissappear. hurrah!
Android/hero seems to have copied the stupid iphone method. or... am i missing something? is there a better way to delete items from the inbox?
In the Mail app, press the menu button and select delete. Then you are able to select multiple messages to delete in one go

Yeah, thats what i'm refering too. If you had 50 emails you'd have to tap each one individually to delete it.
No, you don't.
When you are in the screen to select which messages you want to delete, click Menu again. It will give you the options to Mark all or Unmark All. This way you can delete ALL messages in one go. Remember that the Menu button changes screen over screen, many hidden functionality is there

Done a search but didn't come up with much, so apologies if it's been asked before.
Is there an option/reg hack that means you can select e-mails in an inbox without opening them? With the lack of directional buttons and touch only, I can't navigate to an e-mail that I just want to delete rather than read.
Any tips?
Thanks
Tim

While you are in inbox, open the right soft menu & in select messages option select several.
Now, select messages you want to delete & keeping over any one of selected messages click & hold.
Now you get an option to delete the messages you have selected.
Hi there people!!.... Wow, it's been a while since I last posted something here!!
I have just received my new (and quite beautifull) HD2.... it works just great.. but there's one tiny problem, maybe someone can help me
After downloading my mail to the device I tried to delete all the messages in one folder, but I just can delete one by one... Everytime I try to drag to select several mail the HD2 keeps scrolling up or down and I can only select one message at a time... Is there any way for doing this??? Can't believe this silly programming mistake.
If I can't do multi-selection on my e-mail then the e-mail on the HD2 is useless crap... HELP PLEASE!!!
I think there is a select message option in the menu at right bottom of the inbox screen.

That would have been the most intelligent idea for HTC... but nope... there isn't such option...
My logic tells me to go to the classic Edit menu and click Select All... but it does not exists...
Any other solution?? can't believe I'm the only one with this problem!
thanks!!!!
Open the inbox and go to Menu. You'll have to scroll down to see it, but there is a Select Messages option. You want the "Several" option in there.
You can then select multiple messages.

Yep... is was as easy as that... Thank you both for the tip!
I'm still not used to scrolling down on menus that don't have scroll bars... I think I must be missing a lot of configs because of this!!
Cheers Mates!
theres a very faint scrollbar on the white pop-up menus, a little hard to see sometimes!
Can anyone tell me why there is no delete email in the notification area on the S4???
When I slide the Notification down after getting emails I have the option of Archive or Reply but no Delete.
Is this function not available in the S4???

I believe the only way to delete emails is to go into the email app, click the button at the top to bring up the side bar, select show all folders under combined view and then you can delete them. It makes sense to not be able to delete emails from the notification bar as you could easily delete one by accident.

Just "archive" it.... gmail will send it into "deleted mail"

I'll have to try that. I always thought Archive was to store important email and they would not go to the Trash!!!
I have a couple of subscriptions to different sites and it would be nice to delete irrelevant email when they come in from time to time without having to open the app.

I assume you talk about Gmail (new version). Well, if yes, you need to go in Settings - General Settings - Archive and delete actions (first option)
