For anyone with non-proprietory mailboxes, with webmail access, and very often on Linux servers so as to offer cPanel and several webmail clients; SquirrelMail is good for this kind of management, including showing and selecting and even deleting all at once, and then purging the trash folder to get rid of them completey, to open up your disk storage limit again. And all that can be done through the browser, Safari for example. Non-proprietory means or eliminates providers like Googlemail, yahoo, hotmail, msn, and a bunchof other add-supported systems. This is the virtue, as Raul knows, of buying up your own domain and having it hosted on a paid for server to eliminate all that.

Even though the iPhone only shows you the last 50 or 100 messages depending on your settings, I completely understand your need to eventually reach zero inbox status. I only have about three or 400 messages in my inbox and it still drives me nuts. Like Chris said, you will need a PC client or Mac clients such as Thunderbird in order to delete all messages at once. Unfortunately neither the iPhone or the Google mail website allows you to select all messages and delete them in one swipe. However all is not lost, the nice thing is that you can go to the Gmail website and define filters to move messages which meet a certain criteria into certain folders. Google mail treats labels in the way that we think of as folders. What I would do first is go to the Google mail website and create as many labels as you think you will need. For example in my case I have things like receipts, confirmations, Amazon, iOS purchases, the iPhone, etc. I even have the labels for family, business, personal, read later, and more. Once you create these labels, you can start creating filters. For example you can create a filter and put the V iPhone address in the to field. When you first define a filter there is a test filter button. Activate that button and toward the bottom of the screen it will show you the search results of your inbox that have messages addressed to this list. This way you will know if the filter will work. Then you press the next button and define what you want to do with messages which meet this filter criteria. For example the filter I set for this list will skip the inbox and copy the messages over to the V iPhone label which looks like a folder in my iPhone or in Thunderbird. You mentioned in one of your emails that you set up filters to put things in personal. My guess is that maybe you did not check the box which tells it to skip the inbox. After all this long explanation, let me give you the best link for Gmail. Hopefully this will help clear your inbox. http://mail.google.com/mail/h. --- Sent from Raul's iPhone - (832) 554-7285.
