Every day numerous spam e-mails and other unwanted messages overwhelm your inbox. For security reasons, it is recommended anyway, to not open these emails. The unwanted messages dwell on your inbox in thick letters until you’ve found the time to delete them.

It is quite annoying to pick them all in your inbox and delete one after another. Outlook has once again a good solution with that you can delete them much faster.

Try the following:


1. Go to View – Current View – Unread messages in this folder (up to Outlook 2007, 2002/XP and 2000) or View – Arrange by – Current View – Unread messages in this folder (Outlook 2003).

2. Outlook then displays all the unread messages, so that you can highlight the remaining emails at once and delete them.



Faster still is, if the Advanced Toolbar is shown in your Outlook. Just click the corresponding entry in the drop-down menu.



To show the Advanced Toolbar go in Outlook to View – Toolbar – Advanced. Now you have an additional toolbar in your Outlook, in which you can also find the above drop-down menu.
