PC Hatred: Outlook Web Access

Since my Thinkpad is being replaced after less than 2 years in service, I have been using Outlook webmail for the last week. Until last night, anyway, when I was informed for the the first time that my mailbox was 65,000 kb over its size limit and blocked from sending email.

Now, there are no large files in my account. What's taking up all that space is 371 pages of Sent Mail. Each page contains 25 old messages.

The caveat is that there is no "select all" button in Outlook Web Access. So to clean out my account, I'll have to hook up my USB mouse, then individually click to select

371*25=9,275 messages
then click the delete button once per page=371 times

For a grand total of 9,646 mouse clicks.

Now I know how I'll be spending my beautiful summer morning indoors. They call this shit "productivity software?"
