Is there a way to select and delete messages en mass like on iPhone?

Hi there DrBukk,

You can follow the steps below to delete multiple emails on your iPhone in the Mail app:

Delete multiple emails at once 

1. Open Mail and go to your Inbox.

2. Tap Edit in the upper-right corner, then individually select the emails that you want to delete, or tap Select All. To select multiple emails quickly, swipe down through the checkboxes.

3. Tap Trash or Archive. If you only see Archive, touch and hold Archive to see other options like Trash Selected Messages.

To delete a large number of emails, you might find it easier to use your email provider's website.

Take care.

DrBukk,

It looks like you're using a MacBook Pro. Is that correct? If so, we recommend that you try the steps here: Delete emails in Mail on Mac

To perform the recommended troubleshooting steps via the link above, complete the steps in the section titled "Delete multiple emails."

1. In the Mail app  on your Mac, select messages or email conversations in the list.

2. All of the messages in a conversation will be deleted.

3. Click the Delete button  in the Mail toolbar or press the Delete key.

If you delete a mailbox, all of the messages in the mailbox are deleted.

You can search for a set of messages to delete. For example, you can search for messages dated August 1 through September 5, 2021 by entering “date:8/01/21-9/05/21” in the Mail search field. Or, search for messages from a specific person by entering a name in the search field. Then select and delete the found messages.

We recommend the steps above because they will show you how to delete multiple emails on your Mac.
