On both iPad 2 and iPhone 4G there are mail boxes that accumulate a mass of mail. I must delete messages individually! Is there a way to delete all mail simultaneously?
iPad 2, iOS 5.1, Same problem on iPhone 4S
No, the best you can do is, from your inbox, tap Edit (top right), then tap all the emails you want to delete and tap the Delete button at the bottom. There is no Delete All option.

Thank for the reply. Maybe Apple will resolve this deficiency.... Are you reading this Apple?
You're welcome. Apple doesn't read this forum; it's strickly user to user. You can give your feedback to them here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Here is how I deleted 300 mail items that were on my mail server when I created an account.
I went into Settings/Mail Then clicked on the account and DELETED it.
I then went to webmail and did a mass removal of mail and then I created the same account again.
It seems Apple could do better.
Thanx. That works but Apple shoud make it easier!
This is a better and much easier way to delete multiple emails in inbox
1. Go to your inbox
2. Press Edit
3. Tap any message once to select it
4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
6. Release the Move button
7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done
Thanks!
