Title: Mails löschen / Delete Mails
Post by: Biker68 on June 12, 2025, 10:16:42 pm

german:
Hallo,
ich nutze Aquamail seit Jahren. Da sind inzwischen viele Mails und entsprechend ist die App sehr lahm geworden. Vor allem beim Start dauert es lange, bis ich etwas sehe.
Wie kann ich denn die Mails vor einem Datum löschen, z. B. vor dem 1.5.2025?

Hello,
I have been using Aquamail for years. There are now a lot of mails and the app has become very lame. It takes a long time to see anything, especially when I start it.
How can I delete the mails before a certain date, e.g. before 1 May 2025?

Hello Biker68,

Thank you for reaching out and for being a long-time user of Aqua Mail. To better assist you, could you please elaborate on what exactly you're experiencing when the app slows down, does it happen during syncing, opening folders, or searching emails? Also, are you using IMAP or POP3 accounts?


Regarding deleting emails:

You can only delete about 10,000 e-mails at a time from Aqua Mail. To do this, you need to adjust the following settings:

1. Settings > Message List > Select "All" means > Loaded items
2. Settings > Mail, receiving > Messages to sync/cache > Set to 5000 and 10 000
3. Synchronize mail, scroll to the bottom (there is a fast scroll option on the right) > wait for the second synchronization to finish
4. Select All messages from the top-right menu
5. Delete them
6. Repeat from step 3 onward as many times are needed

Alternatively, you may also be able to delete it quicker from the web interface of your mail provider's website.

Make sure not to delete any mail you actually need!

For more personalized assistance, feel free to contact us at support@aqua-mail.com. We’ll be happy to look into your specific case more closely.

You will find these menu items in the settings as follows:

1. Settings > Message List > Select "All" means > Loaded items

2. Settings > Mail, receiving > Messages to sync/cache > Set to 5000 and 10 000

****************************

1. Einstellungen > Mailliste > Auswählen „Alle auswählen bezieht sich auf:“ > Geladene Nachrichten

2. Einstellungen > Synchronisationseinstellungen, > Nachrichten synchronisieren > Set to 5000 and
> Nachrichten lokal speichern > Set to 10 000

Points 3 to 6 should be clear, right?
