I try to clear all cache but doesn't let me delete any mail from imap or pop3 my mail accounts.

What is happening and how i can delete ALL the mails from any folder or mail account?

My email is an important and valuable file of correspondence. Why would you wish to delete everything? I ask because deleting stuff isn't always the appropriate action.

So, if you select a message and try to delete it (del key, or toolbar button, or right click) it won't delete?

Ordinarily, clearing a cache is a housekeeping action and shouldn't remove messages, so it's probably not want you want to do.
