how to delete all mail messages from iphone 6

how do I delete all messages from my iphone 6? I have seen the procedure to select a msg, hold the "move" button, move to trash and then delete. This does not work. I can do the process but nothing ever shows up in my trash folder. When I go back to my inbox all the messages are still there.


Any other suggestions?

Go into your inbox. Tap on Edit in the upper right corner. From there, you can tap on the emails you would like to delete, and a checkmark should appear in front of the message. After that, tap on Trash (lower right corner) and that will delete the mail. From there, you can go to the Trash folder and delete them there. The only difference would be if you have the account set to archive rather than delete mail. That setting is found in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then select the mail account in question. The settings is under Advanced.
