Re: Slightly Off Topic: G-mail Question

I don't know specifics but I believe gmail stores everything in a folder and simply sorts and displays according to your selection e.g. inbox, sent, spam etc. I believe the all folder is just that, it displays all of your email in one view. It is very posible the gmail won't allow you to delete from this folder because you run the risk of deleting everything. You probably have to delete from the different folders / views.

I am trying to get my personal g-mail account to work with Windows Live Mail on a Windows 7 laptop, but am having an interesting problem as I work with my g-mail account. Specifically, in my list of g-mail folders, there is a folder called "all mail". This appears to be an archive of some sort, that contains every e-mail I have ever received, replies to relevant e-mails, etc., all the way back to about 2009, when I first set up my g-mail account. There are literally several hundred thousand e-mails in this "all mail" folder. I really don't need this folder, and I have tried to delete it, but with no luck. I also have tried going into the folder and deleting messages in groups, but again, no luck. It seems that G-mail is blocking this action. Having all of these e-mails in my "all mail" folder is slowing things down unnecessarily, and I'd like to get rid of this extra e-mail baggage. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to accomplish this? Do I actually have to go into my g-mail account to do this, and if so, what exactly do I do? Since this quiry may be considered to be "off topic" to some, please respond to me personally at: tombehler@... Thanks much.
