[Q] Delete all emails in recycle bin IceCold Sandwich 8.6.AOKP - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I delete emails from my inbox, they go to the recycle bin, but there doesn't seem to be a button to empty it, like on my previous ROM. Instead, I have to go down ticking every single email individually, then click delete. There must be an easier way than this...?
This is a very recent build, Aug 30th
Any help appreciated!

It's tedious and I agree there should be a select all function but there isn't. Best way is to do it on pc side.

remove email directly in touch flo 3d?

Is it possible (with a tweak) that i can directly remove an email without opening it first?
So i see a preview of the mail in the 'enveloppe', i want to delete it direct.
Thanks in advance.
Daniel
Another small question: When i see the list of emails in an account i want to delete more then one email at the same time. If i want to select more emails the list shift up or down instead of selectig more then one email. Anyone have a solution?

Daniel, I found the answer to your question within 30 seconds by using the search function and searching for 'select multiple emails'. Please use the search feature and research before asking.
Your answer is in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3002018
Take care

Thanks for your help.
Do you have an answer for the first question to?

I don't think it's possible to delete messages/email from tf3d. The only way I know to delete a message without actually opening is to bring up messaging, highlight the message (You can bring up the software keyboard and use the arrow buttons to move the highliter up and down), then use the left softkey to remove it.

Bulk Delete?

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.

[Q] Mail Client options

Coming from the HTC world I am loving my SII. Soooo much smoother and more responsive, not to mention the hardware improvements. One of the small things I am missing is the mail client on the HTCs. I loved how you could multi-select any or all emails on the screen and choose delete, mark read, etc. Is there a mod, theme, or anything that will allow the mail clients on the SII to do this? Or tell me I am just missing an option or something and its already there.
Thanks,
The Gmail app should do it automatically.
You can replace the Samsung app with AOSP Email or K9 (build on AOSP email), which will both allow multi-select.
K9 is no good on exchange 2010. Will AOSP work with exchange 2010? I will look for the app, if you have a link post it up please.
Thanks,
Found the AOSP email.apk. Tried to push it to system/apps but I got an error when trying to install. I had the folder mounted r/w and permissions set correctly. Is there a tutorial on how to push an AOSP mail.apk ?

So you were asking Calk's thread about "installing" something. That shouldn't have been an option at all during the process. At what point were you seeing that option?
You don't need to do anything outside of what I have listed here:
Download or extract the desired app apk and place it somewhere on your SD where you can find it (I highly recommend Dropbox for this)
Open Root Explorer (or ROM Toolbox Root Browser or ES or Other) and navigate to /system/app
Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, R/W is on by default in ROM Toolbox)
If this is a system app, long press existing apk and either move (if you want to keep it) or delete (if you don't care)
If moving, navigate to the place you want to store the original apk using the Parent Folder line at the top
Paste to the desired location then go to the place with the new/replacement system apk
Longpress the replacement apk and choose copy or move
Navigate back to /system/app (should still be mounted) and paste the replacement apk
Longpress the replaced apk and select permissions
On the permissions pop-up leave all three in the first column (Read) checked, only the top item in the middle column (Write) checked and none in the third column, (Execute) and nothing else checked.
Hit OK and enjoy! Your permissions should now read (rw-r--r--)

can one of you please confirm if aosp email.apk is working with exchange? and please post the AOSP email.apk. If needed I can test with the multiple exchange accounts I have... on calks rom, I am having issues forwarding emails...

Here is the apk. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't have to use Exchange any more so I can't test it, but i know I have seen many posts on this over the past year or so. A Google search will probably net you the best way to get AOSP mail and Exchange working together.
Also for future reference it is much easier to just extract any apk you want from a ROM zip than to wait for someone to post it. If you are unsure how to do that, hit the HowTo's link in my signature. that knowledge will give you much more control over your experience going forward and can help you fix all sorts of issues.

Good find. My previous tutorial had the screen shots as well. Makes life much easier. Not sure if this apk is different from the one I posted, but I'd go with his just in case. I am pushing it now to test. If it works the same, I'll replace the one I posted with the one from that thread.
EDIT: Looks like this is the same as the one I posted. At least the version is the same. I didn't go through each item in the apk, but xml's are the same and all of the file sizes are the same, so not sure about the "wakelock fix" mentioned. Anyway, gald you are taken care of.

yeah, that wake lock is annoying... i got it working, i tested both, and they are the same... 1 problem... i cant get the notifications to be right... after installing. I had a notification showing, that i couldnt get rid of, i cleared data, and fixed permissions, rebooted several times, and couldnt get it to go away... I just wish I could get the samsung version without wake lock... Hmmm
anyways, restored nandroid, and i guess i will deal with wake lock, unless you know how to fix the notification i had in email and social hub. it wouldnt go away/.
and YES Exchange works on Both!!!
I have tried all the suggestions and all that happens are FC's. Sucks cause I really wanted the multi select back.

WTF am I doing wrong then? I keep getting FC's. Can you walk me through your steps exactly please?
I think I got it. I was trying to install it on a stock rooted rom. I loaded up a different rom and it installed fine. I will run with it for a little while and see how it does. I am also having the notification issue.
Thanks for all the help.
Well i cant live with the non-clearing notifications issue...LOL. Oh well, looks like we will just have t wait for Samsung to fix it i guess. Bummer.
Thanks for all the help anyhow.

The real bummer is that it was free app of the day on Amazon a couple of weeks back. But yes it is a good app.
As far as the notifications, I've seen the fix somewhere, but I can't find it. The first time I saw it was in a Google search. If I find the source, I'll post it here.

[Q] Is there a way to delete multiple emails at once?

Currently using the stock email program with my Samsung Epic Touch, which doesn't seem to have an option to delete multiple emails at one time.
Anyone have a work around so one can delete multiple emails at once? In other-words...a select all messages, so you don't have to select each message one by one.
If not, anyone know of an email client that allows multiple email deletion at one time?
Thank you,
Skid
kaiten email does just that..been using it for several months now..

Yes you are correct menu delete and then check off all the emails you would like to delete..

Thanks to all who replied and i apologize for not explaining this better.
What I want to do is...delete all messages rather than selecting each one, one by one.
In other-words...have an option for -select all messages - and then have the option to delete them all at one time so you don't have to check each message, one by one.
Thank you,
Skid

This is not possible with the stock email app.
This is why most people who want to access pop3 accounts use a 3rd party email app. The stock email app also sucks for IMAP accounts that have any real security on them.
Try one of the free email apps in the market... K-9 is actually pretty good, and is what I use to access my work email.

Yes there is a trash label and also a recycle bin label which are both showing emails, but when highlighted there is no facilty to delete the contents. You have to use your Email accont on a pc or your wireless cell phone. Google know this....but will not respond to it, only to say that gmail automatically deletes trash after 30 days, if you want to delete your own, their opinion is ..tough!! Not good enough Google!
