DeleteMail: Delete/Archive All Mail At Once

**Joshua Tucker** · 05-07-2011, 03:03 PM

When it comes to tweaks, I'm in it mostly for functionality. I'm not too much into funny little goofy toggles that do random things. I'm all about tweaks that are used to perform a function better than if I did not have them. So far, I've been pretty satisfied with the results. Probably the application that is most practical with tweaks is the Mail.app. I had just about every one until yesterday with the release of DeleteMail. Here's what it's all about and why I'd recommend it.

DeleteMail adds cool feature to the Mail.app client for those of us who actually organize our inbox (don't worry, there have been times when I don't care myself). For those who use IMAP and archive your mail, this comes in handy quite often. Even if you use POP it's great too. What it does is adds a "Delete All" or "Archive All" functionality to the delete button after hitting the "Edit" button in your inbox. It's quick, easy, and saves a bunch of time when it comes to having to archive or delete every email in your inbox. To enable and disable DeleteMail, you'll find a settings toggle in the DeleteMail tab in the Settings.app.

Name: DeleteMail
Author: Andrea Oliva
Version: 1.0-1
Price: $.99

At the last minute, thankfully, I was able to get a hold of Andrea and ask him a few questions about DeleteMail.

JOSH: What gave you the idea to make DeleteMail?
ANDREA: A friend of mine gave me the idea to create this.

JOSH: How long did it take you to make DeleteMail?
ANDREA: It took me about 3-4 days.

JOSH: From a scale, 1-10, how hard was this tweak for you to create?
ANDREA: Medium so like 4-5.

JOSH: Any planned additions or implementations coming up for DeleteMail?
ANDREA: More supports for 4.0 are coming very soon.

Check this out, and post your thoughts here!

Serious question, why the hell is this a paid tweak? I'm sure it took alot of time to produce this lovely one, u don't even need the tweak to do what it does, u can just manually delete each one, yes it takes more time but who cares-.-

Just love it when I open modmyi page and the first thing I see is a tweak from Cydia to improve our iDevice, thanks and keep them coming.

**carlbgc** · 05-07-2011, 04:12 PM

Yeah tweak reviews are better than some of the other random articles I see on here.

This is 'MODmyi' isnt it?

Am I the only one missing the "Mark all as read" function, and the only one being very annoyed by the multiple could not connect to this inbox and that inbox and that inbox popups when I'm offline?

APPLE PLEASE!

Agree about the "Mark All As Read". That would be a nice update for this tweak.

**Go Gators** · 05-07-2011, 06:21 PM

Nice tweak! Is there a difference between Archive and Delete?

Archive archives.

Delete deletes.

**mr117** · 05-07-2011, 07:58 PM

I bought it, it works, I'm happy, and Apple should have done this day one.

Oh, and why should it be free? Did YOU make it and offer your labor and time for free? No, I thought not.

I've been waiting for this for a long time, I hate when mail builds up and I have to delete page after page after...

Certainly worth a buck.

**cippy** · 05-07-2011, 08:09 PM

Yep. Great little tweak. Well worth the 0.99c price tag. ^_^

**Stray** · 05-07-2011, 08:10 PM

Yup! I'm recommending this to all of my friends and family!

Serious? Either save .99 from your lunch money, or, ask your parents for it...
