Hi, Guys, I used to handle emails the way you're talking about, but not any more. First of all before I download any large mail session or any email for that matter, I make sure all dataspace is freed. Now I've gotten them. Okay, so I'm reading them one by one. I send emails to the appropriate folders if I want to keep them. Sometimes I just never open an email. I just read what intersts me. I no longer delete them one at a time. I just do what I want to do all through, either just passing them by without opening, reading, replying, and leaving outgoing email in the outbox. Once I've gotten through them all, everything is read and sorted. Remember that wen you move something to another folder, it's taken out of the email box. So now I'm a happy camper. Everything is where I want it to be. Now I'm in my inbox. I move to the top, use an e n-sign-chord (dots two five with the space bar), and space over until it says mark all email; those are the ones in the inbox. After you hit return on that, it tells you how many emails are marked. Now you hit that e n chord again (dots 2 6 with the space bar) choose delete all email from this foulder by spacing to this option and by returning on it. The system will delete them. After that you can exit following the promts and answering yes or no to the prompts; you're certainly not sending emails yet. Empty the trash and free up data space.
Yeah, but what if an email needs an answer right now, and you've only read halfway? Choose the reply option by the normal way and go from there. Well, that's simple. You can exit until the system says send an email? Well, you answer y for yes connect it to your dial up, and answer the prompts. That mail will go without you having to download a thing. You can finish your business with the rest of the emails, delete them, empty trash, free data space, and go on your way. I usually charge it up while I'm sleeping. If not, I can charge it while reading. I hope you understood what I said and that it helps. Take care of your little guy, and he will take care of you.
