Important notes
- Before deleting all your emails, make sure you've backed up any important messages or attachments you want to keep.
- Deleting all your emails at once may not be recommended, as it can lead to data loss and potential issues with your email account.
- If you're using a shared email account or have multiple users accessing the same account, be cautious when deleting all emails, as it may affect other users' access to the account.
Remember to always exercise caution when deleting large amounts of data, and consider using email management tools or filters to help you manage your inbox more efficiently.
