Mass delete multiple Mails from Inbox?

bobhunter1

Is it possible do delete multiple empty mails from our Inbox in 1 go?
I have like 10,000 empty mails that need to be deleted and really can no longer afford to delete them 1 by 1...

also is there a limit to the amount of incoming mail a character can have?

It is not possible to mass delete mails (nor do they have an expiry where they delete themselves), 1-by-1 is the only way. Additionally there is a limit to how many items can be in your mailbox, the icon will turn red when you hit it (it's like 30 items or so).

I wanted to see this upgrade since the beginnig. Able to delete all mails with one click.

As long as such an option would not be able to delete any mail with an attachment, I'm in support of a Delete All option.

In the mean-time, here's what I do:

1. Sort by date received, newest up top.
2. Go to the bottom of the list and highlight the last mail.
3. Finger on Enter, not pressed yet.
4. Left-click on Delete.
5. Press Enter.
6. Press Enter.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6.

It doesn't take very long at all that way.

If your mail is all AH mail, you can substitute steps 4 and 5 by just holding down the Enter Key while Left Clicking Delete. However, if it is a player mail, pressing Enter without the Delete Gump open, will create a new reply mail instead.

I would like the option to delete all mails excluding the ones with attachment too.

I remember when I was refining my first artifact, my mailbox probably had like 5000~10000 mails (sorry I couldn't count!) The biggest problem was not only the repeatitive steps as described by Zebular, the even bigger problem is, IT LAGS VERY BADLY when I open up mailbox or while accessing mail. Each time I open up mailbox, it takes like 5~10 seconds to open it up due to lagness, and then after I clicked the Delete button, it takes 3~5 seconds for the confirmation message to popup... and then another 3~5 seconds to load the next mail after I confirm on the mail delete.

Now if we do a little math... let say I do it reasonably fast... that's aboout 8~10 seconds to delete 1 mail or about 7 mails a minute. I sit there for 10 minutes and thats 70 mails gone... I sit there for 1 hour and that's about 400 mails gone.... now I continue to sit there and start wondering wtf am I doing, am I not suppose to be enjoying this game than to do this rubbish!

Eventually I minimize the game window and open up my anime to watch side by side while doing the delete+enter job mindless, it took me about 5~6 hours to finish the delete job and its safe to say that wasn't the best of my gaming experience...

PS: The delete job gets faster as there's lesser mails in the inbox (lesser lag), but its still a painnnnnn to delete the first couple hundred/thousand emails
