Can't "select all" to delete when searching emails - ios7

I have just done a search of my yahoo inbox and I want to select all of the results that it came up with so I can delete them all.

There is an edit button in the bottom left corner, but when I press it the only option I have is to individually select them all.

Does anyone know another way I can go about doing this - I want to search for emails from certain senders, subjects, websites, etc; I have over 34000 emails many do which need to go, but there are some really important ones in there too... somewhere!

iPhone 5, iOS 7

Try the app "Mailbox", it helps you organize your mail.

I've just installed Mailbox but unfortunately I am unable to add my Yahoo! account; I went onto their website and the following message is on their blog:

UPDATE: December 20 at 2pm

We’ve determined that Yahoo Mail servers are not permitting connections from Mailbox. We’ve reached out to Yahoo with the goal of restoring service.

Don't suppose you know any similar apps???

Hmmm...

I'll look into it, but as far as I know, Mailbox is one of its kind. Try the Yahoo Mail app if they have one?

Sorry I couldn't help... I'll keep looking into it.

Try Evomail, Dispatch, and Boxer.

(3 separate apps)

They're from a review online, for iOS 6, some of them might have updates to iOS7.

Good luck!

I don't think the mail app does it for yahoo, it does do it for google I believe.

Hope this helps.
