IE11.  I think I have - but I will try it shortly.

Chrome worked! &nbsp;Thanks much!

Glad to hear it. &nbsp;Internet Explorer just has so many bugs in it now.<br />
<br />
Just to test, and if you would still rather use IE, try using IE again, but this time add gmail.com to the list of sites for Compatibility View. &nbsp;You go to Tools &gt;&nbsp;Compatibility View settings &gt;&nbsp;Then add gmail.com.

I appreciate the suggestion, but the emails have been purged - Trash was emptied. &nbsp;If this comes up again....<br />

Hey,<br />
<br />
I have an account with thousands of unread messages. &nbsp;I do not need them, but I want to keep the account active.<br />
<br />
Every time I click <b>Select All</b> and then choose <b>All conversations that match</b>, it tells me <b>all 4,937</b> emails are selected.<br />
<br />
When I click on the Trash can or click Move - to Trash, the screen refreshes and it says no conversations selected.<br />
<br />
I've been following Google's instructions. &nbsp;Any ideas?<br />

Gmail will not delete all messages

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
