How to select multiple emails and delete on an iPad

Thanks so much for your post! I have a Macbook as does my husband. We couldn't find an answer to this anywhere.

I spent way too much time trying to find ways to do it.

This even works in Yahoo email.

I found your post by doing a google search.

Thanks for taking the time to post it. I know millions of email users would love to have this information.

Too bad Apple doesn't make it easily available, if they know of it at all.

IT used to have delete all emails and they did update and removed it !!! This iPad will be trashed if they don't fix this HUGE problem !! APPLE DO YOU HAVE YOUR EARS ON ?????!!!!!! PLEASE PUT BACK DELETE ALL EMAILS !!!!

I just figured this out so I'm sharing even though this thread is ancient;

Go to All Mail > Edit > Select the first email on the list > press AND HOLD "Move", simultaneously, unselect the first mail again > Release all fingers from device > You will now be on a screen that has ALL email selected and you can press Trash to delete them all! WOOO!

Open the mail app.

choose the mailbox you want to delete out of

Tap on the word 'edit'' (just to the right of the word mailboxe)

Choose the mails you want to delete.

Tap on 'trash'.

You can select all. It's in the options at the bottom of the mail list.

I'm sorry, I thought you could.

I'm afraid the only other thing I can suggest is to access your mail via safari and the web interface and bulk delete that way.

BTW, if you have more than 3000 i would suggest lifting any sleep feature. if it goes to sleep during the process you will need to start over. So no Eureka moment...

I Must be doing something wrong, this does not work for me. How long do you hold down Move button?

thanks,

mary
