I usually delete a whole slue of messages at a time.  For example I had ~150 messages 
to scan through in my inbox this morning.  Most of them spam system email etc.  Can 
someone suggest a way to mark them for deletion then when i sync-mailbox have the 
messages marked for deletion move to the trash folder?  The method listed below makes 
me answer yes to each message I delete which is much more work than just keeping a 
backup of everything I recieve and going to it when I am missing mail..
