When you follow the steps as outlined, it deletes all mail in all folders, including all-mail, inbox, sent-mail etc. 


Thank you.

Can the procedure you outline below be applied to the "all mail" folder in
g-mail?

If so, can you tell me how to accomplish that?

Thank you!

There is no "Select All" checkbox in basic html view in gmail. Here's what I 
do to delete large numbers of messages in gmail.
How to create a filter in your gmail account which will delete large groups 
of messages in your inbox.





1.  Sign into your gmail account using Internet Explorer.



2.  Press Insert+F7 to open the links list.



3.  Press the letter S until you hear Settings, then press Enter.



4.  Press Insert+F7 to open the links list again.
5. Press the letter C until you hear Create a filter, and then press Enter. 



6.  Press the letter F until you hear From: Edit.



7.  In this field, type *@*



8.  Press Tab until you hear: Next Step Button and press the space bar.



9.  When the next page loads, press the letter X until you hear: Delete it
Check Box Not Checked. Press the space bar to check this item.
10. Press the letter X until you hear: Also apply filter to 20 conversations 
below Check Box Not Checked, and press the space bar to check this item.
11. Press Tab until you hear: Create Filter Button, and press the space bar. 
Your filter should now be created.



12. After your filter is created, press Insert+F7, then the letter I to be
taken back to your inbox where you will see all of your messages still there 
in your inbox.



13. Close Internet Explorer to exit out of the gmail web page.



14. Sign into your gmail account using Internet Explorer again.



15. Go to your inbox, where you should see that it is empty.



16. Press Insert+F7 to open the links list.



17. Press the letter S until you hear Settings, then press Enter.



18. Press F7 for the links list, then press the letter F until you hear
Filters, and press Enter.



19. Press the letter B until you hear: Delete It Button. Press the space
bar.



20. When the page loads, you will hear JAWS say:   Your filter has been
deleted.



21. Be sure to do steps 14 through 18, or all of your e-mail will continue
to be deleted and sent to the trash.

Subject: Deleting All Messages in Gmail



Hi all,
Would anyone know how to delete all messages in Gmail using the basic HTML view? I know about "checking" each message and then clicking on "Delete", 
but I have over 3,500 messages to delete.  I've heard of a "Select All"
button, but I can't find that button.

Thanks
Michael
