The Blackberry is a great tool for many people during the business day. A valuable attribute of a Blackberry is the ability to check your email. Of course, you must learn to delete the Blackberry email copy without affecting the desktop copy.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Blackberry
• Email account

1. Access the inbox on your Blackberry where your emails are stored. Click on the track wheel and begin to roll it down to the word "Search."

2. Select "Sent Only" in the "Show" area. Go to "Type" and choose "Email." Use the track wheel and select "Save."

3. Name the file something so you will specifically remember that the file is a sent-only and a to-be-deleted file. Choose a one letter shortcut key such as "A." Again, use the track wheel to save the file.

4. Pull up all of the "Sent" items. Using the track wheel, highlight the last date showing, and then choose "Delete Prior."

5. Call up your messages on the Blackberry again when you want to repeat the process of deleting sent items. Press the "Alt" key as well as the shortcut key you chose earlier. Observe the items in your "Sent" folder; use the track wheel to select "Delete Prior" as shown in Step 5, and your Blackberry deletes the unneeded sent messages.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to try these steps to delete just one file. This way, if it goes wrong, you are only working with a test file.
