Delete emails from the Trash Folder

Tap on "Trash," Edit>"Select All" (Upper Left hand corner of the screen)>Delete(Bottom right hand corner of the screen).

No, I don't use gmail. iCloud and two other IMAP accounts.

I can select any mailbox, "Edit" (Upper right-hand corner)>"Select All" (Upper left-hand corner)>"Delete" (Lower right-hand corner.

Since the update when you choose the select all it’ll only let you archive instead of delete. To make it delete all highlight them all with two-finger gesture and once all highlighted you still have the delete option on the lower right. Then you should be good.

Thank you. This worked but I have to say that, IMO, this is one of the most ridiculous changes Apple has made. Pointless.

Move mouse to the Trashcan, then CTRL- or RIGHT-click to Empty Trash. Or if the deleted messages are in Mail's trash, then select the Trash folder in the sidebar, select a message then press COMMAND-A to select all messages, the click on the empty trash icon in Mail's toolbar.
