If you want to delete everything in the Inbox at one time, click on one
message header to highlight it, then Ctrl+A will highlight them all, press
Delete. They're gone to Deleted Items. Or, Ctrl+A, then Shift + Delete will
bypass Deleted Items.

That's all I meant to suggest.
What I do, in the morning, is look through all my e-mails, sometimes as
many as 150, move the ones I want to keep into other folders and the
delete the rest which is spam.
Since you can right click on deleted items folder to empty, I thought the
same thing with the inbox would be possible and easy with unread items.

Oh well,
thanks,

I could do that with my OEX program: www.oehelp.com/OEX/

You just want all unread messages to be deleted right? That would be
easy.

OK, I give up. You guys win.

What I was suggesting was not an auto delete (Dave's response) but one
the user could control.
IOW- once you've viewed the e-mails you want, then click a button to
move rest into deleted item folder en mass.

It was just a thought,

You can't do it with a single button, but you can go to View | Current
View | Hide read messages, then Edit | Select all (CTRL-A), and then
right click on the selection and chose move to folder. Then go back to
View | Current View | Show all messages. That's not very many clicks.

Due to a large amount of SPAM that gets by filters and rules, could MS
come up with a short-cut (button) that would throw all unopened/unread
and/or unviewed e-mails from your inbox folder to your deleted items
folder?
Similar to the right click on deleted items folder to delete all
e-mails.

Please don't tell me that has already been done and I've missed it.
