Hi Tom/all,

In those cases, what I usually do is go into the folder, select all messages with cntrl-a for select all and pressthe delete key. In a few minutes the folder is empty. As for my daily routine messages I have made outlook classic ask me if I want to have them permanently deleted before exiting, and I answer yes.

Hello, everyone.

?

I don’t know if this will be considered off topic for this list, but I thought I’d try, since there are so many knowledgeable people out there.

I manage my personal g-mail account through Outlook Classic as part of my Microsoft 365 subscription.

?

I recently Got a notification from Google that my g-mail account space is 50% full.

?

I have three folders that literally contain thousands of messages:

?

My sent folder;? my all mail folder;? and a folder called important mail.

?

I’d like to clear out these folders to some degree, but am not quite sure how to go about it efficiently.

?

I would be happy to ?save sent e-mails from the last year or two.

?

I also wouldn’t mind paring my all mail and important mail folders back significantly, but am not sure what the difference is between all mail and important mail.

?

I do have Outlook Classic set to automatically delete e-mails from the server whenever I invoke the delete function and indicate that I’m sure of my deletion step.

?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

?

Thank you!
