This section will focus on getting rid of unwanted emails without reading them / opening them on a Mac computer. Generally, it could relate to selection in the finder, or on a PC the actions translate by substituting a different keyboard key for the Mac's Command (Apple) key.

To delete multiple emails without reading or opening, click on one of your "keeper" emails (one that you want to keep) (strategy) and then command click (hold down the key with the apple and click) on the others that you want to get rid of, thereby selecting them. Once you have all that you want to get rid of selected, go back and de-select that one you wanted to keep by simply command clicking on it. Now you can release the command key and hit delete. (or even better, if they are from unwanted sources - Bounce them - it makes it look like your address is not valid - which is a desirable illusion to hand the spammers).

Note: You can do this in any order.

Tip: I suggest keeping your finger down on the command button throughout the process so that if you "miss" you don't have to start over. In fact, keep the Command key depressed for 100% of this process from the moment where instruction is given to begin using it (above).
