Help: How to Mass Delete in Mail Trash?

I'm in Mail and my trash has about 80 deleted messages. I cannot figure out how to do a mass delete. Please don't tell me this has to be done one delete at a time. I've tried a few key strokes and mouse/key combinations, but obviously not the right ones.


Now, this is not in MAILBOXES, where a right click and Erase Deleted Items does the job.


This is under my 'GMAIL' box, which is linked to MAIL.


I can right click--erase deleted items there until I am blue in the face to no avail.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Try holding down the Shift key at the same time selecting all the email you want to delete then right or control click > Delete.
