How do I delete email in an email account?

Choose either of the options below to delete emails within an account:

1) Log in with your email address username, password, and domain name to http://webmail.ezpublishing.com.

To delete your emails indvidually, click on the checkbox to the left of each message to mark them.

Next, click the delete link. Messages you have marked for deletion will appear crossed out.

Lastly, Click the purge deleted link to delete the messages from your inbox.

Note: If you would like to perform a mass-deletion of email, you will need to delete email by the page.

In the Select drop down menu below INBOX, select "All". All checkboxes on the page will automatically be marked.

To increase or decrease the number of messages displayed on each page, go to options > other options > display options. Change the value under 'Messages per page in the mailbox view'.

2) If you have SSH access to the server, you can run the following commands to delete ALL email from your account:

change the directory by running:

cd /var/mail

delete the emails within the mailbox by running:

rm <username>

where username is the unique login ID of your email account.

Note: This will delete ALL mail from the email account. Also note that you need not be logged in as root or as the mailbox owner/user to perform the delete.
