How can I delete an OLDINBOX and similar folders?

  • If you are using Pine program, on the main menu;

    L FOLDER LIST - Select a folder to view

    Option lets you select the folders you want and see the message content. Among these are the OLDINBOX folders. You can delete the folder you choose by highlighting/selecting the folder and keying D (Delete) and then to confirm deletion keying Y (yes).

  • If you are using Squirrelmail, first transfer the necessary mail in the OLDINBOX directory to another directory and delete the unnecessary mail, then click on the Folders option at the top of the page and choose from the list of directories in the Delete Folder section the OLDINBOX directory you wish to delete and click on the Delete button.
  • If you are using the Horde E-Mail interface, after transferring the necessary mail in the OLDINBOX directory to another directory and deleting the unnecessary mail you must click the Folders icon and tick the box next to the OLDINBOX directory and then choose the Delete menu option.
  • If you are an Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger or Mozilla Thunderbird user for e-mail after removing the messages to be kept to other folders, highlight the unwanted e-mails and press Delete key on your keyboard. Afterwards, select the OLDINBOX by right clicking on the folder and select Detele command in the popup menu.
