Discuss AOLMailTom's answer to: How can I delete multiple emails at once?

How can I delete more than one email at the same time? I would like to be able to get rid of unwanted mail quicker if possible.

There are two ways to delete multiple emails at once.

First, you can click on the uppermost checkbox located below the Keep as New button.  This will select all emails in your Inbox.

Secondly, you can select a range by clicking on the checkbox next to the first (or last) message, hold Shift, and then select the checkbox next to the last (or first) message.

After selecting the desired range, simply click the Delete button.

For anyone that can't get this to work the box that you want to check is at the very top of "New" mail and just to the left of the word "From" this will check off all email so you'll have to uncheck the one you want to Save. This also works for "Recently Deleted" mail.

this didn't work for me:  

select a range by clicking on the checkbox next to the first (or last) message, hold Shift, and then select the checkbox next to the last (or first) message.

the boxes aren't check during the selection processed.

i have to select each box, one at a time.
