During our server move we had a problem that cause me to receive 3,000 error messages (emails) sent to my Blackberry. It took me forever to delete them. Is there a quicker way to clean up the Blackberry inbox than doing it a few at the time. I know how to select more than one message (shift, and page down), but it was very slow.
On the same note, is there a way to set the Blackberry so that it automatically purges messages after so many days? I'd like it to just keep a rolling window of messages and not have to delete everything.
Can you delete a whole pile of messages? Yes - scroll up to the date, click the wheel and select "Delete Prior" - this will remove *all* messages from that point prior on the BlackBerry. Brute force - everything gets deleted.
As you noted, you can also select a message, hold down the shift key, use the wheel to scroll down, select multiple messages, click the wheel and select delete.
I don't believe there is a way to "age" the messages and have them delete themselves after a period of time.
OK, this is still a lot to manage. If I do the delete prior as described above, I'm assuming that it will actually delete my Lotus Notes mail from Notes, which I don't want. I would like to have a way to clear the Blackberry of everything, without messing with the server side.... for when I've done a lot of updates on my laptop and don't want to go through the Blackberry and sift through what changes I've made. It seems that when I do updates on the laptop, they don't flow down to the Blackberry (with Notes). Maybe I'm doing something wrong there.
Delete Prior does not touch the server side. It erases the entry in the BlackBerry only. Unfortunately I am not a Notes customer, so I can't help with the Notes specific questions.
But I can positively state the using Delete Prior does not touch the server.
