There are 100's of email. I'm cleaning spam out of an account. I can't select them 1 at a time. There used to be a way of selecting 1, then holding it while you select the destination, and then letting go of both at the same time. That doesn't work on the iPhone 12.
This is such an obvious necessity - why was it disabled?

Hey there EllenBEX,
Once you have your search results displayed, you can select "Edit" at the bottom of the Mail app, select the emails you want to manage, then select one of the options at the bottom. For example, you can choose to flag those emails, place them in another folder, or delete them.
For more details on deleting emails on your iPhone, use the info below:
There are multiple ways to delete emails. Do any of the following:
While viewing an email: Tap , then tap .
While viewing the email list: Swipe an email left, then choose Trash from the menu.
To delete the email in a single gesture, swipe it all the way to the left.
Delete multiple emails at once: While viewing a list of emails, tap Edit, select the emails you want to delete, then tap Trash.
To select multiple emails quickly, swipe down through the checkboxes.
To turn the deletion confirmation on or off, go to Settings > Mail, then turn Ask Before Deleting on or off (below Messages).

Take care!
Not a great solution, but better than clicking the boxes 1 at a time.
Thanks.
EllenBEX,
When you have a list of the emails open, do you see the Edit option? You should be able to select multiple emails by swiping down through the checkboxes.
Let us know what you see and we'll continue.
Thanks!
You're very welcome EllenBEX,
We hope you had a great day.
Cheers!
