I'm disturb to what I saw today on my unopened email account for more than half a year now. The problem is my inbox had a 7k emails that I'm sure all of them are spam mails. I tried to delete them all but i got tired when i hit the 2k mark. If somebody know how to delete my inbox in just one click I appreciate the help or if you can lessen the deleting process if will also help me in some ways.

hi! i really don't know what mail do you use, but 7 000 unread messages are something really scary as I know all the mail clients, no matter in which country or on which continents, have the option "mark all" so that you ca mark all the message on the current page and delete them. unfortunately there is no option to mark all the messages on all pages, so you have to do it page by page, but it is still faster than mark each one

To answer this properly we would have to know if you are using a web based email such as Yahoo mail or Gmail or are using a PC based email system such as Windows Outlook Express. It is very easy with the web based emails systems. Almost all have the ability to do a mass delete. It may be a bit harder with Outlook Express but not impossible. So what are you using?

For Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail or other similar e-mail client, follow the instructions I outlined above.
