how do I delete all email from one sender

I want to delete old emails from certain senders but Apple email on my iPad does not permit marking all emails found by search. I have over 4000 emails and need to delete most because they are old.

Ok so, after experimenting A LOT, and searching in other forums, I finally did it.

So:


1) search in the imbox the sender you want to delet the messeges form.

2) Tap on “Edit” (top right corner)

3) Check the first mail from the list.

4) Hold the “move” option (lower part of the screen, in the middle)

5) While holding the “move” option, deselect the first e-mail you selected before.

6) Release all of your fingers from the screen.

7) now yo have the option to move all the messeges in the search result of your sender anywhere. In this case, the trash can.

8) Delete all messeges from trash. DONE
