How to Empty Deleted Items Folder in your Email Client
BlackBerry (all versions)
Are you reaching the limit of your mailbox quota? Do you know you have a lot of items in your deleted items folder? Here is how to clear them using just your BlackBerry:
1. From the home screen, go into your Messages icon
2. Click the Trackwheel (or the menu key (to the left of the Trackball) and select Options
3. Select Email Reconciliation
4. Click the Trackwheel (or the menu key) and select Purge Deleted Items
In the event that you do not have access to your mail client, performing the above can be helpful if your mailbox becomes full and you need to delete some email to get under the mail quota.
**WARNING** - You will not get a confirmation message after clicking the option. Doing so will permanently empty the deleted items folder in the mail client.

25 Ways to Simply for Your Business
It's your typical day at the office. Like every other day, it
started at 7:00 a.m. When you sat down with that first cup of coffee, you were
hoping to get to work on some meaty stuff-strategic planning, ideas for that
big project, a thorough review of your staffing needs for next quarter--the
kind of long-term thinking that helps your business grow.
But you'd barely gotten started when... it started. Urgent phone calls
from clients. Personnel crises. Last-minute meetings. Stacks of documents,
checks and other paperwork that need your approval or signature. Suddenly, it's
7:00 p.m., and all you've done is put out fires. Want tomorrow to be different?
Then read on for 25 easy ways to simplify your business so you'll have time for
what really matters. Put these ideas to work, and before you know it, you'll be
finishing up that strategic plan... and maybe even have time left over for a
life.
1. Use a server as a digital filing cabinet for your growing piles of documentation.
2. Phone it in. Are you wasting time
running between voice mail on your cell and office phones? Have you tried VoIP?
3. Take it online. If you've taken the
leap of setting up an accounting package to handle your bills, take the extra
step of automating the process.
4. Hit the web. Your website is a
potential client's main access point to your business - make it work for you.
5. Bank on it. Many entrepreneurs don't understand how much they're paying in service charges
to their banks every month. Do you?
6. File taxes electronically. So get a head start now to make life
easier later on.
7. Pay now, not later. Take advantage of savings when paying for 6 months or more up front.
8. Upgrade your accounting systems.
9. Make your (bench) mark. Understand how you stack up against your competition.
10. Obey the urge to merge. You might pay
slightly more, but renewing all your insurance policies on the same date with
the same agent can save you money.
11. Hire strategically.
12. Stay on schedule.
13. Rent a CFO. At some point, a
bookkeeper won't be able to keep up with your burgeoning bottom line.
14. Tighten your supply chain. Keep
relationships strong by leveraging your buying power with as few service
providers as possible.
15. Outsource your HR function.
Entrepreneurs spend up to one-third of their time doing payroll and benefits
administration.
16. Have fewer staff meetings. Fewer staff
meetings mean less talk and more action.
17. Do some data mining. What do customers think
about your company?
18. Leverage partnerships. Strategic
partnerships with local businesses will help you rise above the noise.
19. Go directly to the consumer.
20. Get the message. To simplify, divide your business into five main channels (website,
catalog, direct mail, employees and customer service) and have one main
marketing message every week (a sale, a new product, a new partnership and so
on) that you communicate and track for consistency across all channels. Y
21. Consolidate your advertising legwork. Set aside a block of time--Monday
afternoon, for example--when advertising people know they can reach you.
Everyone will save time, and you won't have to hide anymore.
22. Decide what to outsource. You don't need
to have your hand in every single pie anymore; let someone else carry part of
the load.
23. Create boundaries. Set aside 10 minutes
after lunch to make and return personal calls. Set a time for leaving the
office every day, no matter how busy you are.
24. Shorten your to-do list. A long to-do list
leaves less time to focus on revenue-generating ideas. Instead, focus on the
top three urgent tasks for the day. The rest can wait.
25. Love your inner Luddite. Try working unplugged--this means
no internet connection and absolutely no phone calls--for
one hour every morning.
