[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1816707, member: 335450"] Highlighting and deleting a page at a time won't work Jake, there are 10,000 emails, 95% of which are spam. I attempted what Ashwin suggested perhaps a year ago and don't remember exactly why that didn't work. If I recall, I believe after deleting perhaps 10% of them, the program uploaded them from G-mail again. Apparently I have to do the same thing with G-mail. I wonder if it's possible to simply delete the iOS male program entirely along with ALL of the emails, and simply start from scratch. After all, the emails are still backed up on G-mail. Part of my problem is I have absolutely NO idea how iOS actually functions and if there is a way to prevent Mail from re-loading that entire archive. Ultimately, Rod's solution is probably ideal, but that doesn't address the original issue. Mail has been reasonably reliable on my MBP. EDIT: Also, her iPad is a minimum configuration and I have to think those emails are taking a great deal of drive space. Is there any way to check that? Not total drive space, but rather the size of the mail archive. ken [/QUOTE]
