Highlight the First e-mail and use the Command key and Click each of the other e-mail you what to delete. The press the Delete key on the Keyboard.


Or, if all the e-mails are consecutive as in below each other, Again highlight the top most e-mail and hold the SHIFT key and scroll down. This will highlight all the chosen e-mail and Delete Key

I tried this but unfortunately it did not work but, through experimenting I found if you highlight the first email, hold the shift and command keys and hold the down arrow key it will highlight everything below the first. Than press the delete key, ta da everything is gone. At least it works on my iMac 24”..

Thanks for all the help
