Deleting emails from the same sender

Thank for your prompt reply.

I have no difficulty navigating the filters for my inbox, i.e. by unread messages, messages with attachments and selecting a specific folder or all folders. I also have no problems searching my inbox or outbox according to sender, date or other search information specific to the contents of an email or thread. The difficulty that presents itself is that once the OS has generated a list pertaining to my search, I then have to select each item individually, before hitting the ‘delete all’ option. What would be really, really helpful is for an option to ‘select all’ once the list from the search is generated so I can delete all as one function, without having to laboriously select each email item individually before deleting en masse.

I can understand there may be advantages in reducing the possibility of someone deleting emails they may want to keep on record by not providing this function, but this could easily be averted by inserting a warning before the operation is to be completed. I can only assume it be an oversight or there are other issues involved.

I love working on my iPad and over the years have completed many useful and sophisticated tasks, including downloading and converting files for 3d printing for anatomical study.

What I would also really like to be able to do is clean out my inbox of spam and promotional material, while retaining important email records intact.

regards
