I send and receive a a lot of SMS and emails. Consequently my message inboxes quickly gets clogged with messages. The problem is that I want to keep some messages while throwing out most of them. Instead of going throw my message inboxes and deleting message after message, and saving a few messages, I am using two ways to cut down on time to clean up my message inboxes.
The first way to manage this is to mark the messages I want to delete. I do this by holding down the shift key (arrow up) while moving the joystick up or down. That will mark the messages I want to delete. I then press the backspace key and that will prompt a message asking if I want to delete them.
The second way of quickly cleaning out my mailboxes is by selecting "Mark All" and then do the reverse. For each message I want to keep I press the shift key (arrow up) while pressing in the joystick, or if I want to deselect several messages keep the shift key pressed in while moving the joystick up or down. I then use the backspace key to delete the marked messages.
errm.. may i know how to i delete multiple messages using E65, cos i tried holding on to the key below 9, and use the joystick to mark the messages but to no avail… =(
you use the little pencil icon button on the right side of the phone, hold that down and scroll through the messages. that will mark them as flagged and then you can delete selected.
having the same issue with my e61i that deleted email message headers are remaining on the phone. previously, they would stay on the phone only until I downloaded new email, then it would update and delete the deleted emails. now, although I’ve downloaded all email to a computer so there’s none on the server, a week’s worth of email headers are still on the phone.
aww, I really don’t want to have to do a hard reset. did anyone come up with a solution?
thanks!

I just found this on the nokia forums and it worked!
“If you want to delete it in a hurry you can select to delete from phone and server then hit options and “connect” let it connect up to the server, then simply exit messaging, before completely exiting the messaging application it will say “mailbox still connected, disconnect now?” then select yes and they will be deleted.”

I have an E62 unable to send text message,i did software update still the same problem.I use nokia phoenix.what is the solution.
Hi
Same issue with the E50. I’m using the pop3 protocol but the only way (and this will prove true for you all as well) to delete the messages from the phone is to select the ‘delete from phone and server’ option. A pain if one would like the message to remain on the server as well. Not sure if this issue is specific to the E series nokia’s.
Hi,
I am using a nokia e62 which keeps hanging very often and if i keep too many messages it slows down the sending of new messages. I normally backup my messages from phone to pc, but i am unable to copy the same back to the phone thru pc suite.
Any suggestions would be really great!!!
Cheers,

Hi,
I deleted my pop3 mailbox in my E61i as described in (http://mobilepakistan.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/how-to-delete-email-mailbox-in-nokia-e61i/#comment-142). It had many emails in this mailbox before when I deleted it. I was hoping that when I delete the mailbox, all emails remained in the phone memory will be deleted as well. But then, when I checked the phone memory (Menu > Office > File Manager (select phone memory) > Option > Memory Details), I still see that it still reserved amount of space for my ‘supposedly already deleted’ emails, even i have no more email mailbox in my phone! How do I regain the space without hard reset/formatting it? Any suggestions/tricks? Thank you.
I finally found the solution to the emails that won’t delete…I sync with my SBC/Yahoo mail in 3 different accounts…
On the Phone, go to the mailbox you want to clean out. Select “Options->Mark/Unmark->Mark All” (or individually). Then “Options->Delete”. They remain as icons with a slash in them.
-Then go to the SBC/Yahoo (or other mail) site and delete them there.
-Now go back to that mailbox and select “Options->Connect”. Let it sync with SBC/Yahoo on the phone.
-Voila…no more messages.
I believe there’s some kind of security barrier that prevents the phone from deleting the messages on the other end. It may be adjustable but darned if I’ve found out how yet. In the meantime, at least my mailbox gets cleaned out.
