I have thousands of emails. Is it possible to delete them all?

Is it possible to delete many emails at one time not individually?

Select the first mail. Scroll to the last email you want to delete, hold down the shift key and select the mail. You now can delete the bunch of emails together.

If you want to delete some mails here and there: select one mail, hold down the command-key and select another one. Now you can delete the selected mails together
