I am running CM6 and can't seem to figure out how to delete multiple e-mails at one time using the stock Android e-mail app that comes with CM6. I have 187 items in my trash folder and really don't want to have to click the check box for each one to empty my trash folder. Is it possible? I know I can download K9 Mail but would like to see it if is possible using the stock app first.

Hi
I have alot of SMS'es I want to delete and also have alot I want/need to save.
Is there a way to Select/Mark multiple SMS'es and then delete? I don't want to delete the whole threads as there are many SMS'es I want/need to save.
I'm using the built-in SMS application right now.
Regards,
Kensy
The way that I manage them is by tapping and holding the text that I want to keep and then tapping 'lock'. If you do this for all of the texts you want to keep, you can delete the thread but those messages will remain.
I think there is a program or a patch that allows you to mark multiple messages but I'm not sure what or where to find it.

I would like to use the stock email app to manage all of my email accounts including my personal Gmail. Is there a way to ARCHIVE a message in the stock app? Coming from an Iphone.. this used to work just fine.
Thanks!

Anyone? I have since switched to K-9 Mail.. but still wonder if stock can do the archiving.

I use the Gmail app and also cannot figure out how to archive vs. just trashing. Anyone??
The latest version of gmail 4.2 has an option for swype message which states archive or delete but when I swype a message it always deletes it. There are no other options that I can find unless you set this on via the web browser. Point is that the option is there so perhaps we may see another option or a popup for the swype action in future builds.
However, also in the 4.2 app if you select a message with the little checkbox you get a file-cabinet icon popup at the bottom of the screen - Archive! Not sure if this exists in the older version as no longer have it on my phone.

Thanks for the info.
Not sure if this is how it's SUPPOSED to be done, but....if I remove the INBOX label from the mail, it disappears from the inbox, and magically goes to ALL MAIL, and at the bottom of the screen reads "1 archived." Only took me four hours to figure that out! I'm sure there must be a tutorial somewhere...I went onto the Google Help site, and there was no reference to this at all. Maybe I'm just a little too picky.
How do I update to GMail 4.2 and/or find out which version is on my S3? As you can tell, I'm new to Android.
In all honesty I am not overly familiar with gmail as have other accounts that I use, I also did not realise that a message without a lable is an archived one!
For 4.2 follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933273&highlight=gmail+4+2
I would use the .apk to install it as you are new to android. Take a read through the thread to make sure you understand everything but it is pretty simple.
Hey guys
I tried searching and googling both these and can't find anything.
First I was wondering if there is any way to specify where to download files each time? Like if I download a Rom I can put it in Rom folder, pictures in picture folder, etc.
And second is if there is way to save pictures that I sync from Facebook to the actual Google contact? Because every time I flash my phone the pictures are all gone or replaced by the old ones from the Google contact.
Any help on either of these things would appreciate.
I'm Tasks AOKP if that matters.
Thanks

downloads will generally always go to the download folder. there are a couple good file explorers out there to help you move things around to where you need them to be.
as for the contacts, sorry. i dont sync my contacts with facebook. i added pictures to them a couple years ago and those same pictures show up on them whenever i flash a new rom and restore/sync contacts. i can even see or change the pics when i look at my contacts on gmail (on the pc)
I know you can specify the download location for each download on dolphin browser.
Any other suggestions? Especially for the contact pictures, just refreshed and lost all again.

Try a program called dow load all files or use opera browser as it allows you to change download location like a regular browser.
Contact thing I'm not sure. I sync all mine to google.

Why cant I find many normal mail options and settings in this rom?
I cant move mails between folders
I cant choose the age of the downloaded mails and how long to keep them, after a couple weeks it deletes them even if I mark them as favourites!
I cant reply from the Recycle bin and I cant move those mails back to Inbox.
Is there any fix to this, or is just the mail app that sucks?

I found the Mail app to be a terrible drain on resources. I now route all my work mail through Gmail - it works significantly faster, removes the extra app from running and has the advantage of making all my work email nicely searchable. Set it up right and you can send from Gmail as another account too.
Additionally, I've shunted all my Facebook and Google+ notifications through Gmail and use Greenify to ensure the fb and G+ apps don't run in the background; the result has been a massive increase in performance, while still giving me access to the apps when I want them.
I dont have the Gmail app in Mimicry's rom, and I dont have my mail in Gmail. I like the mail app installed but is missing a million options and settings, Im just trying to find out if they are somewhere else or if there is a way to fix it. If there isnt I would also like to know if there is any other nice mail app available.

Thats the one Im trying right now. Is still missing the options to choose the age of downloaded mails, recover mails from trash folder and moving mails between folders but at least doesnt delete the old ones without asking and I can reply mails in the trash folder. It works well and fast and thanks to Nova I could change the horrible icon for the simple envelope one.
I have been using the stock HTC Mail app since release but I am trying to organize my mail folders a little better. I am using an outlook account with it. Is there any way I can add more folders? The only ones I see are the standard inbox, sent, junk, etc
Nevermind. I got this issue figured out.
