My mothers computer had over 60,000 unread emails. I was hoping to crush them all at once. From this video it looks like you can only select all message on the page......which is 50 emails. I see somebody in the comments was upset at this limit as was I.
But if you scroll the page it will load more. Scroll again and load more. This is called -lazy loading- which helps speed up a page and save on data transfer since it would be pretty intense to load all 60,000 emails at once. So if you have a lot like me keep scrolling the page and lazy loading more messages and then choose to select all. I am in the middle of the process right now and have just been scrolling to load about 1,000 emails and then deleting. So do that 60 times and I'll be done ;-) which is better than (60,000/50) 1200 times.

hey guys, if you want to delete more, scroll down to the bottom of the first 25, then check the next email and click on that thing at the top again. I kept doing it before I hit delete, and it takes a while but you can delete more than just 100 at a time. I just tried 550 at a time, and I'm down to 15,349. Just make sure you empty trash in between. LoL!! what a pain, but it's better than doing a few at a time on the celliephone. on a computer, you just check mark the first email, scroll down, hold down shift key, click on the last email and hit delete. shift key makes it easy to select all on a computer. cell is a bit different. ;) hope that helps someone... this guy is right. VERY useful!! ;) - -

It does not delete all mail if i select all. Maximum it deletes 1000 mails at a time and even for that I need to scroll the bar 10times to load the 1000 mails. At a times it only loads 75mails in the page, once you scroll down it loads another 75. Not use-full at all when you have 1000-s of unread emails

And thanks for a useless video, when we want to delete hundreds or thousands of unread emails AT ONCE. YOU KNOW THIS. We can only delete 50-100 at a time. WHICH IS FRIGIN USELESS and INEFFICIENT. Thanks yahoo

This guide is okay if you only have less than 100 emails, but when you're like my grandma who has over 60 thousands emails. it will take forever to do.

Agree, despite the cool -TechJunkie- name, and the spritely young voice, its full of crap; can't do more that 50 at a time.
