New to Symbian, stupid questions.

Hey All,

I apologise for the stupid questions but I am new to Symbian. Using a 6680

With my old Nokia you could delete all messages in a selected folder, I don't seem to be able to do this. Is this just a simple feature that is missing or is it hidden deep deep in sub menus?

Email Inbox??? I have set this up for my GMail account but it doesn�t seem to work. Is this because it is purely for my email account that is provided by my service provider or are my settings possibly wrong? Clarification on this would be great.

Think that�s all for now.
All help is appreciated.

Hi,

Not sure about the inbox query, but to delete ALL the messages in a folder, use the 'Option' softkey and select menu option: Mark/Unmark -> Mark All

Then select 'Delete' from the Options menu or press the 'c' key

Thanks

Superb, so simple yet not very obvious.
I thought Mark/Unmark was for making messages look unread like on email systems.

Thanks for the help Fellowship.

What exactly does not work on your email setup? Can you connect? Can you receive? Can you send? Post the settings you are using it may help to see what the problem is. Which network are you using?
