Pretty sure you can't. I don't think even an add-in would be able to provide this functionality. Personally, I'd click on the first one, then hold down the shift key and click on the last one and hit delete.  Signaturef.h. Thanks, I was afraid of that. Not all of the ones I want to delete are sequential. Why would the full-featured outlook be less functional than the give-away outlook express? Is there a rational reason for it? > > How can I set up outlook email to show check boxes next to the > > messages.?That [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > provide this functionality.

Umm I don't recall any "checkboxes" next to messages in OE, either........ You can select multiple messages using Ctl-click and then delete them >> Thanks, I was afraid of that.

You must have added a third-party application if you have them. > Thanks, I was afraid of that. Not all of the ones I want to delete are > sequential.

Is there a rational reason for it? Well, lets see.. Non-sequential? Do the shift like I said to select all and then Control click to unselect individual items from the list, if the selected items would outnumber the unselected. Or just control-click if it's the opposite. And like others said, OE doesn't have this functionality. And, even if it did, it's a completely, totally, 100% different product. It has absolutely no relation to Outlook apart from the word 'outlook'. It is sort of like the relationship between WordPad and Word. None. Signaturef.h. |
