The iOS/iPadOS Mail filter function does not, of itself, provide a facility to filter by date. However, the Search function will accept date input. Examples:


  • Wednesday
  • Wednesday, 24 Aug 2022
  • Wed, 24 Aug 2022
  • August
  • 2022
  • Day
  • Week
  • Month
  • Year


As you input dates in the appropriate format, you’ll see suggestions by category - including Date. You can tap any of the suggestions to list mail messages that match the selected search clue.


More information can be found in the iPad User Guide:

Search for email in Mail on iPad - Apple Support


Next, either tap the Edit button at top-right of the Mail sidebar - or tap with two fingers within the sidebar; simply swipe your finger down (or up) the left-side of the message list to bulk select Mail Messages. Swipe below the bottom edge to rapidly select all the visible email messages.


To finish, tap the Delete button at the bottom of the sidebar.
