I want to select all after I’ve searched the email. .

You have a select all when I have not put anything in the search bar, but there is no “select all” after I’ve put in my search criteria in the search bar.

Hey cablejc,


I see that you're having trouble selecting all emails in the mail app's search results on your iPhone. I'll be happy to help out.


Selecting multiple email messages can be done a couple different ways. One way can be found in this section of the iPhone User Guide:


Organize email in Mail on iPhone


"Move or mark multiple emails

  1. While viewing a list of emails, tap Edit.
  2. Select the emails you want to move or mark by tapping their checkboxes.
  3. To select multiple emails quickly, swipe down through the checkboxes.
  4. Choose the action you want to perform on all the selected emails.
  5. If you change your mind, immediately swipe left with three fingers to undo."


If you want to select all the email in the list, you can also touch & hold on the top email message with two fingers, then swipe down to select all the messages below it. This gesture takes a little practice, but is a very quick way to select a large number of emails very quickly.


Let us know if you have any questions!


Have a great day!
