How do I delete emails in my sent folder?

My emails are bouncing back because I am over the limit. I know I can delete them one at a time, but is there a way to delete them all at once?

I googled it again and found the answer.

See below. This worked for me:

Select the Sent Items folder Select Edit Select Select All (all the sent e-mails will be highlighted) Press the Delete key (all the highlighted e-mails will move to the Deleted Items folder a) Right click on the Deleted Items folder b) Select Empty 'Deleted Items' folder

After that, you should compact the folders. That will remove the messages from the message file, otherwise they will be hidden, but still present. If you want to delete several messages but not all of them, you can hold down the Shift key and move the cursor down the list to select them.
