    When your in your messages folder, you can highlight the date bar that is above the messages and press menu then select delete prior.

    You can also press and hold the shift key while you roll the trackball to select a range of messages.

    Holding shift is the easiest way I have found to delete multiple messages at one time. Also you don't have to click the menu button then delete, you can just hit the delete key and then it will ask you if you want to delete them.

    Yes. In your Message list, scroll to a message from that sender. Press Menu. Select "Search Sender". Wait for the search to finish. Scroll to the date at top of the list. Press Menu. Select "Delete Prior". Then messages from that sender will be deleted.

    Repeat as needed.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, I use that a lot. I get a bunch of different Google Alerts. I read them throughout the week and then typically at the end of the week, I clear them out that way.

    Another great tip. If you got text messages from the same sender and you want to delete all of them quickly highlight one of the messages with the address you want to delete. Then hit the menu key hit the s key three times then click the trackball. highlight all the messages found and hit delete.
