iOS 10 Mail delete all function?

You are right. In fact I just wanted to "delete" emails from my iPhone instead from the server but this is not much helpful as there is not option to turn off the Sync for past emails. In that case sorry for misinformation.

That is not true at least with our outlook account.

Please check again -- the option to Trash All has been removed -- it needs to be put back QUICKLY please.

I agree the "delete all" has been removed. Why??? I went to the apple genius counter (one hour wait) only for them to tell me that it's not their problem. That your email provider is the culprit. ........Okay, so I went to the Microsoft store (I have an outlook msn account) and they tell me it's an Apple issue. Go figure. Who's right? Any knowledgable IT out there that can shed light on this?

The solution that has been posted here multiple times: Edit/MarK All as Read/Edit/Move to trash/bin works. I've been using it for a month now with no problems on both iPhone and iPad. Maybe all that's needed is for Apple to acknowledge it and tell the teenage "genii" about it.

This is definately an Apple issue. Shame on the "genius" in the Genius bar who did not knoew this. I would report this to customer care at Apple. They need to know these things

That is a workaround not a solution. The function was there before and has now been removed. If they removed it on purpose then tell us so. I, however, don't believe they would take the function away without some explanation.

Not in the junk mail folder it doesn't work.

Obviously this community is not read by Apple people, only users. The problem and the workaround have been around since ios 10 was released. The trash/delete all function is avaliable in the junk and trash boxes, but not in others. The workaround works, I for one have notified Apple through their support channel, but never any response. Has anyone called Applecare. I saw one note that someone had talked to Apple and was told the "all" capability was removed from the inbox and archive box so people wouldn't delete all their email Of course, it goes straight to the trash box, so what's not to find? Is there no direct channel to Apple or are they avoiding us. Apple users are supposed to be smart enough not to need "protection!"

Unfortunately, that used to be the case but it doesn't work with latest update anymore.......

I just used it. iOS 10.0.2. You have to hit edit first.

Yes it does, used it today

Thanks for the work around! It worked for me today after several weeks of frustration missing that "Trash all" option. 🙂

Only the workaround works in 10.0.2. The trash all only works on the trash folder, not the inbox.

As has been stated multiple times in the thread, Apple personnel need to read this forum and communicate accurate information.

IT works great for me on all my mail functions.
