[Electronics-Talk] iPhone Question

[Jim Barbour]

I know that this will likely not be very helpful, but I wanted to say that Vince's solution will not help.

Your best bet is to use a computer to delete these messages. This can be done if they are part of a Gmail or exchange account.

Exactly how to do this will depend on what type of account you're using.

I hope this gets you started,

Jim

Under the "mail", or maybe it is listed as "Email", is a heading for accounts.  Your Email account is listed there, and that's the one you want.
