No, Michele, you don't have to trash the messages one at a time and sit through the whole process. What I do is read all the messages in my inbox, or at least all of the ones that interest me. When I'm finished I go to my first message in the box. Now it's not opened, just in your box with all the other messages. Write a dots 2-6 chord, (that is the e n sign with the space bar.). After you've have hit that combination, you will find all kinds of things to do to messages as you hit the space bar. One of them will say, "Mark all messages in this folder." When you hear that hit your return. Okay, so all of your messages are marked. Now hit that e-n-sign chord again. Now you'll see those options again. This time you'll space to the option that says "delete all marked email in this folder." When you hit return on it, the system will start trashing your emails for you. It may take a while. That depends on that particular mail session, how much data is in it, what shape your system is in, etc. It will beep while it's doing the job, at least voice note does. Just go off and do a quick chore if you like or maybe a longer one if you have lots of emails. If you want to hear how the progress is coming along, use an h-chord for hear, and then hit return. You'll be able to get a good idea of how much more the system! has to do for you. When it has finished just exit until the system asks you if you'd like to empty the trash. Say yes, and let it empty the trash.
Now that the trash is empty, it's time to free up your data space. There are two ways. One way is to select e from your main menu to get back into your email options. As you space, you see write, read, etc. Now keep going until you hear set-up options. Yeah, I know. It can seem kind of scarey to go in there at first, but it will be all right. After you've hit return to get in there, just space over the choices in there. The last one will say, "free data-space space." You hit return to select it, and the system will free your space for you. After it has finished, it will tell you how many bytes it had to free. Now I said there were two ways. The other option is to choose a from the main menu. Space over to free-up data-space, and hit your return. The same thing will happen. I free my data-space after every email session. If I have had lots of messages, I hit reset after I'm back on the main menu. After the system resets, I can turn it off or whatever. I hope this is clear and helps you.
