select all emails from one sender with one click to be able to delete, how do I do this in mail?

I just moved over from PC and in outlook I could click on a sender in mail and select all emails from that sender with one click to be able to delete, how do I do this in mail?,

in outlook I would open mail

select a sender,

right click and one option was select all from sender...

Then I could see all the emails from that sender highlight and delete...

very fast way of removing junk...

I just spent 2 hours trying to find the way on mac mail to no avail!!! I have 30,000 emails to clean!!! please help!

Thanks!

Try it before you complain.

Changing criteria is very easy; you can enter more than one name into a single smart mailbox using an OR statement; you can sort by dates, etc, etc. Instead of creating smart boxes, you can also just search.

Create a Smart Mailbox with the criteria being that person's email address in the From field.

Exactly. Then everything from that sender is available in the smart mailbox. Consider it a filter more or less.
