The mail system includes a bulk accept / delete capability.

It appears many people don't know about this.  I had to have it pointed out to me by my loving wife.  

Step 1.  quickly read your mail.  don't take attachments or delete messages.  
Step 2.  return to inbox.  There is a menu drop-down on the LEFT side of the mailbox.  
Step 3.  from this drop-down, choose "accept all attachments".   Boom.  done.
Step 4.  from the same drop-down, choose "delete all read messages".  Boom done.

  • So pleased you told me this. I had totally missed myself. 

    I could only delete 100 at time, but nonetheless I have eventually emptied my inbox

    Thank you

  • A "delete all messages" option would be nice, so i would not have to click every delivery message every single time. But yeah, that is the way to do it.

  • The problem still is that if you want to keep any messages (as I like to keep my discussions with friends) you cannot just delete all.

    I'd love to be able to bulk delete my auction delivery emails

  • Yeah I do use this a lot but I frequently don't have room to accept ALL items, so I selectively have to go through and pick and choose... and then go back and delete each one... and if I select Delete All Read but they have attachments I get that cute little error.  >_<

  • There IS that one thing on top, i.e. the arrows that go back and forth through your messages that make this easier Miso :)

  • Bah... you still have to READ all those messages before you can delete. But still... :)  Accepting all attachments is pretty sweet.

  • Yeah this is an awesome tool, I use it all the time.  It would be nice if when you take items from an auction delivery that it set it as red automatically.  Also maybe a check box or something for messages you don't want to delete.

  • I think that requiring a message be manually read is so that you don't hurry through 20 or 30 auction system messages and miss the one from the Nigerian oil official that needs help moving money out of the country.   It's a good thing.
