How to delete mail.ru mail if you do not remember your password
First you need to use the site's help in password recovery. For this you need:
- After the password recovery procedure, the service offers to check the password recovery data, which may come in handy in the future. You can confirm them with the button " Yes"Or delete by clicking" Not". This point is not important, since the goal was to recover the password for deleting the box.
- Next, we carry out the removal procedure, as described in the first part of the article.
This is how you can delete mail ru mail. When deleting a mailbox, you need to understand that everything associated with it will be deleted, namely, a blog on Mile ru, if any, an account in My World, photos, videos and everything else that has been uploaded, as well as all letters with information, which might be important.
This means that if the total space occupied by your letters exceeds the allowable value, the server will stop accepting letters, and the mail will stop working.
To avoid this unpleasant situation, you can use a mailer program (The Bat, Microsoft Outlook, etc.) which will itself delete messages from the server, leaving local copies on your computer, or delete messages manually via the web interface.
Manual deletion of letters via the web interface
First you need to go to the site using the login and password of the mailbox.
There will be four folders on the left. The names correspond to the purpose. For example, the Sent Items folder is used to store sent emails.
The assignment of folder roles can be changed in the Settings section (the link is underlined in blue in the picture), the Folders subsection. Your inbox is saved in the Inbox folder. Go into it.
To delete letters you need:
The last two actions have the same result - the selected letters will go to the trash folder.
These actions are not enough to free up space on the server. we just moved emails from the inbox to the trash. To completely remove them, you need to click the clear link next to the basket.
Customizing Microsoft Office Outlook
To configure the settings for deleting messages from the server in Microsoft Office Outlook, you need to edit your account settings.
To do this, go to the menu "Service" - "Options"
To change your account, select the option "view or change existing accounts" and click the "Next" button.
In the list that appears, select your entry that belongs to our server (entry of the form login @ site.) And click the "Change" button.
The account settings window will appear:
You need to click on the "Other settings" button and open the "Advanced" tab in the window that appears.
There are three checkboxes from the settings:
- Leave a copy of the message on the server;
- Delete from the server after ... days;
- Delete from server when deleted from "Deleted items";
Disabling the first checkbox turns off the other two (this is the best option for our server). In this case, when receiving letters, your mailer copies them to himself, without leaving them on the server. Thus, the server uses a minimum of space for storing letters (only new letters are stored on it until your next connection). The disadvantage of this configuration is that mail can only be received once. If, for example, you have two programs (for example, at home and at work) and you have received all your mail at home, then at work you will no longer be able to receive these letters (they did not remain on the server and therefore there is nowhere to take them).
The second option (the first and second checkboxes are enabled) deletes only those messages from the server that were moved to the "Deleted Items" folder after the specified number of days.
The third option (the first and third checkboxes are enabled) deletes messages from the server only after they have been removed from the "Deleted Items" folder.
Configuring The Bat
To configure automatic deletion of messages from the server in The Bat, you need to edit the properties of your mailbox.
To do this, go to the "Mailbox" menu - "Mailbox properties". (or press Shift + Ctrl + P)
In the window that opens, go to the "Mail Management"
There are three options for deleting emails:
- deletion from the server immediately upon receipt;
- deletion from the server after a specified number of days after deleting a letter to the trash;
- deletion from the server after deletion from the recycle bin;
The first option is "deleting received letters from the server" (this is the best option for our server).
In this case, when receiving letters, your mailer copies them to himself, without leaving them on the server. Thus, the server uses a minimum of space for storing letters (only new letters are stored on it until your next connection). The disadvantage of this configuration is that mail can only be received once. If, for example, you have two programs (for example, at home and at work) and you have received all your mail at home, then at work you will no longer be able to receive these letters (they did not remain on the server and therefore there is nowhere to take them).
The second option (letters remain on the server and the expiration date is specified) deletes only those letters from the server that have been moved to the trash after the specified number of days.
The third option ("letters remain on the server" and "delete letters from the server only when they are removed from the trash") deletes messages from the server only after they have been removed from the trash
The fourth option (all checkboxes on) will act as the second and third options together.
With this configuration, as a result, the mailbox will still be full and the mail will stop working.
In this tutorial I will show you how to delete your mail on Mail.ru permanently. It will be erased from all letters and settings. Also, together with it, the Cloud, My World and other services will close.

Then the mailbox will be blocked, and letters will no longer come to it. Also, all settings will be erased and all site services will be deleted: Cloud, My World and others.
Right now, I'll show you how to delete mail from your computer. From the phone, this is done in much the same way, which I will talk about further.
Note: if you used this email address to register on other sites (for example, on Skype), then you may have problems accessing them.
one . We go into the box that you want to destroy, and at the top of it, click on the item "More". Select "Help" from the list.
2. A new tab opens, where in the "Registration and login" section (below) we click on the item "How to delete a mailbox".

How to erase a mailbox from your phone

2. Enter your mailbox. To do this, click on the "Mail" inscription, type in your username / password and click "Login".
If the "Mail Application" window pops up, click "No thanks."
four . Type any reason for deletion, enter the password for the box, the code from the picture and click "Delete".
A message will appear that the email has been destroyed. That's all! Now you can close the tab - mail is already blocked.

How to delete mail if you forgot your password
It happens that you need to destroy a box from which you do not remember the login data - login and password. In this case, you must first try to restore access to the profile.
The first thing to know is the exact email address. After all, the address can be either the ending @ mail.ru or with other endings: @ list.ru, @ inbox.ru or @ bk.ru. And these will be different Mail boxes.
In addition, if you confuse just one letter or number in the name before the @ sign, it will also be another box - not yours.
Example of an email address
And the second thing you need to know is the exact password. It consists exclusively of English letters, numbers can be used. The size of the letters (large or small) also matters.
You cannot delete your page on Mayla without a password, so you will need to restore it first. To do this, in the login window on the site, click "Forgot your password?" and follow the instructions.
Read more about restoring access in the "My mail" lesson.
But what if you can't restore the box? Then you just need to wait: when the address is not used for more than six months, the administration has the right to destroy it.
If you have not used your mailbox for a long time and cannot enter it, most likely it has already been deleted.
It's easy to check: send a letter to your old mail. If you receive a notification about an undelivered message, it means that the mailbox is closed. It simply does not exist in the system.
Alternatively, you can try registering this address. If such a username is available, then the mailbox was automatically deleted.
Can I recover my mail?
The box can be returned only within three months after its closing. But everything that was in it will be irrevocably destroyed. It is impossible to recover deleted messages and files.
To recover deleted mail, you just need to open the mail.ru website, and enter the correct address and password in the login window.
The box will open without any problems from the system (even confirmation is not needed), but it will be empty.
Alternative to delete
Deleting mail is a very crucial step. After all, all letters and services are immediately erased with it. This does not always work, and now I will talk about more gentle ways to deal with your address.
Exit the box
It happens that a person just needs to close a drawer on a specific device. For example, you went to your personal mail on your work computer. And now every time you enter the mail.ru site, the mailbox opens automatically.
To prevent this from happening, you just need to log out of your account. Then the mail will remain in the system, but it will no longer be automatically downloaded on this computer.
To log out of your mail on a computer, open the mail.ru website and in the login form, click on the icon with the door.
Forwarding letters
It often happens that a person does not use mail on Mail for a long time: he has a different address on another site. But before, he left his old box to different people. And I don't really want to delete it - suddenly one of them writes.
Or it happens that you don't want to delete mail on mail.ru, because all the necessary services are attached to it. For example, Skype is registered, a page on a social network or a profile on a dating site. And if you close the mailbox, you can lose access to these services.
In this case, instead of deleting it, it is better to set up mail forwarding. Then, when a message arrives at the old address, it will be redirected to the new one. And it doesn't matter on which site the new address is: on Yandex, Google (gmail.com) or some other.
one . We go to the mailbox on mail.ru, from which you need to redirect letters. We click on his address in the upper right corner. Select "Mail settings" from the list.
3. Click on the "Add Forwarding" button.
four . Specify the address to which you want to forward letters, and click "Save".
6. After that, the forwarding is added, but in order for it to work, it must be confirmed. To do this, follow the appropriate link and follow the instructions.
If everything is done correctly, the “Confirmed” mark will appear in the “Filtering Rules”. But besides this, you will also need to put the switch on "ON" - just click on it.
That's all! Now all emails will be automatically redirected to another address. You can turn this setting off at any time if you want.
If the confirmation email doesn't arrive, check your Spam folder. For me, for example, it got there.
Filtration
If you decide to leave Mail due to the fact that you receive unwanted messages (spam) in your mail, then this can be solved through filtering. Just mark those messages that you would not like to receive, click on the "More" button and select "Create filter" from the list.
Or you can even choose the "Delete forever" option. The main thing is not to forget to save the settings and check that this filter is marked "ON".
Conclusion
- To close a mailbox, you need to know its exact address and password. This data can be restored. Or you can just wait - in six months the mail will most likely close itself.
- In addition to deleting, there are other ways to get rid of the mailbox: mail forwarding, filtering. And if you just need to remove it from someone else's computer, click on "exit" in the upper right corner of the site.
- You can return a deleted mailbox, but only within three months after it was closed. After 90 days, it will be erased completely, without the possibility of recovery.
In 2004, Gmail, with its gigabyte of free email storage, seemed like a fairy tale. No one would have thought that such a huge box would ever have to be cleaned. Today, the repository has grown 15 times, but the desire to delete thousands of letters does not leave many of us.
The problem lies not in the available space, but in the countless number of unread and simply unnecessary messages. Checking your inbox becomes torture, and search and tagging becomes useless.
However, you can still give your Gmail a second life.
Delete all emails
The first step is to empty the entire mailbox. First, it is advisable to back up the entire inbox using the Google data export tool. Then it can be opened through an email client such as Mozilla Thunderbird. It can take several hours or even days to save a mailbox - it depends on its volume. But the process is carried out on Google servers, so you don't need to keep your computer turned on.
You can also transfer the most useful and necessary messages to another account through desktop mail clients using POP or IMAP protocols.
Be careful! The life hacker is not responsible for important emails that you can inadvertently delete.
By itself, deleting letters is a straightforward process. Go to the Gmail page with all messages, check the corresponding box at the top left and to the right, click "Select all threads in the" All mail "section". After that, all that remains is to click on the basket icon and confirm the action.
The letters will be in the trash can, available in the menu on the left. Go to it and click "Empty Trash". Also check your spam folder to make sure your account is now completely clean.
Delete unnecessary contacts
Gmail automatically records the contacts of the people you correspond with. This is a big plus of the service, but there is also a minus: if you use the function carelessly, your contact list can turn into a messy heap. Quite unexpectedly, a person may appear in the phone book of an Android smartphone, to whom you wrote only once, and even then 10 years ago.
In this case, everything is a little more complicated than with letters, since contacts are synchronized between various Google services. Ideally, you want to remove all useless email addresses, keep important ones, and leave your phone numbers intact.
Gmail does a pretty good job of organizing emails if you set up your inbox. To do this, click on the gear on the right and click on the corresponding button. If the service sends a message to the wrong category, then drag and drop it manually to the desired one: Gmail will remember your choice and no longer make mistakes.
Of course, this question does not arise if you regularly clean your mailbox, as well as if you do not subscribe to various mailings, do not use to register on forums and social networks. If you at least do not "light up" your address on the Internet, you at least have no spam, although large mail services have already learned how to deal with spam (by large services I mean mail.ru, yandex.ru, gmail.com , although there are other services that are equally protected from spam).
But how to quickly and effectively get rid of megatons of mailings from the category of "actions of your friends over the past half hour", even if you have already gone beyond the limit of 4000 letters in the folder (mail.ru limit), after exceeding which letters continue to arrive and you can read them, but such a nice little thing as "sorting" doesn't work anymore? Such a technological limitation.
But hallelujah, such a convenient service as Search comes to the rescue, in which you can set a template for search (for example, VKontakte or vk.com) and delete all letters found in bulk. The method is simple, like a rail, and I see no reason to describe it in detail. If you helped someone, thank God.
We'll look at another, more intelligent way called Filters. The essence of the focus is as follows - you have the opportunity to immediately sort all mailings from personal or work correspondence, so as not to search every time through the entire mailbox for the desired letter.
It is very pleasant that now, on some services, filters can be applied even to those messages that were received before the creation of these very filters - before, there was no such possibility on free services at all.
So let's get started:
We go to the mail and select Configure folder
After that we choose Add folder
This window opens ...
... and enter the folder name into it, for example, Newsletters and put it not in the root, but, for example, in the Inbox folder.
Although, of course, you can leave Folder position in position Top level folder, for example, if you want to create many subfolders for each mailing list, but this can be done at any time and we will not dwell on this. Here we will consider the principle, and then, in the image and likeness, you can create such folders and configure filters yourself. So for now, we are going through steps 1 to 3 and move on to the next step.
This is the kind of beauty you should have achieved, now go to the section Filters and forwarding.
And press the button Add filter
Here, red indicates important points that you should pay attention to when creating a filter. Filters allow you to filter emails by a fairly large number of parameters. If you need a complete overview of the filter capabilities, then you can go to Help, or write in the comments about the need for such an article, and I will try to make a description as soon as possible.
Let's go back to our rams, i.e. creating a filter. In field "If a" we choose From field, Further contains (when you click on this inscription, it changes to "does not contain") and write mail domains from which mail should be placed in the mailing folder. Do not forget to check the box Apply to emails in folders - this is done so that all emails that came before the filter was created will also be moved to the mailing folder (or any other one that you specified)
After creating the filter and clicking on the button Save you see this line. There is no need to change anything here, I can only say that I have more than a dozen of such filters - for newsletters, coupon, thematic, etc., which is what I wish for you.
