    Nup. This person is talking about a program Inbox that is Malware. It won't remove through normal control panel processes. Reinstalling google chrome doesn't to a thing. Pesky program!

Hello,

Generally when someone uses the term 'inbox' they are talking about the folder where their email program stores emails. This folder can contain emails that have been read and emails that have not been read. After you 'delete' and email from your 'inbox' it is usually stored in a folder called 'Trash'.

Anyway, if you actually want to delete 'inbox' as apposed to say deleting all the emails in 'inbox' it can get a little tricky.

Here is how it is done for Firefox:

Go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Account Settings'. Find 'Server Settings' under the account for which you wish to remove the 'inbox'.. Once on the 'Server Settings' page look for 'Local Directory' on the bottom left of the dialog. Click on the 'Browse' button. When the 'Browse for Folder' dialog comes up you will see your current 'inbox's name and location as it will be highlighted in the list.

I'd recommend chosing a new folder as your 'inbox' at that time, Then use Windows Explorer to browse to that location and delete the folder.

It is my pleasure to guide you.


If you are talking about the Inbox from your email, just right click and delete it. Sorry, If you are using MS Outlook you can not delete the Inbox. Yahoo.com likewise will not let you delete it. I know this because I use both.


So swesley4, what inbox are you talking about?

Delte all emails at once Is delete all

It depends on your mail program.

Outlook online (using your bowser) only allows you to select messages per page, so you can only delete a maximum of one page at a time.

Thunderbird (running on your pc) The whole inbox is available to be deleted in one go.
Using the command Control+a (select ALL), you can then delete all the mail in the inbox in one go, by hitting the delete key.

Most offline mail prrograms act like Thunderbird.
But the mail program needs to update the mail server on line, so this might take some time, to synchronise the offline inbox with the online inbox.

Can not delete inbox

Inbox is a folder in your E-mail client where newly arrived messages are collected. If you do not delete them or transfer them to some other folder, that is where they stay. You can empty it.
Open the Inbox, select the messages you do not want and delete them. You can also open the Inbox, point to a message (any message), select it then type CTR +A. All messages in the mailbox will be selected. Now press the DEL button and confirm the deletion.
A more radical way to get rid of the Inbox is to delete all your E-mail accounts, followed by uninstalling your E-mail client (Outlook, ThunderBird, etc.)

Delete inbox on my pc

If you have deleted the inbox and not able to retrieve it from the delete folder, go to tools>email settings>create a new account. Delete the "old" email and create a new one with the same settings as the old one. You should see you inbox again.

Good Luck

Computer won't delete items from inbox on outlook express

Do you have IMAP on your email server? IMAP is a duplicate of what you have in your email program, if your not deleting the messages on the server but only on your email program then your server space will be full and it will give people that send you email that message.

Cant delete mail from inbox.

You can try contacting Yahoo! Mail support. The only way someone can try to delete your inbox is if you give them your password....I shouldn't have to tell you what a bad idea that is. Go through Yahoo!'s support system, and have them do it for ya.
