iOS 10 Mail delete all function?

That is not true. Those options are not there anymore In ios10

These instructions no longer work on my iPad or iPhone after iOS10 upgrade. As with the other users the trash function is grayed out. Only thing you can do is mark all or flag all. The trash button becomes blue after you select a message but there is no delete all or select all function. I have 62 mails in a folder I want to delete I can't take the time to click each one. Before you hit one button and you could delete all in the box.

Not working in my 7s in ios10.

This was one of the best features in the mail app in ios9.

Did you even check before answering? The feature was removed from iOS 10.

I mean 6s...lol

I did a good search and found nothing about this being deleted except through posts here. Can you link the reference that this function was deleted from IOS10?

I find it odd that a feature like this was removed.

I have not found anywhere on line, however have not looked very hard, for some kind of press release or official statement that touts this as a feature that has been removed. It seems to be one of those things that Apple just does as part of an update with no announcement, just their judgement call on what we might want or not want. That's my take on it. Seems they didn't research this one too much however, what a huge loss of a feature.

I have discovered that the feature still remains in the mailbox labeled "trash" but no other. There is also no feature to select all and then move all to the trash for example. I have some accounts that use a "deleted mail" label instead of trash and it's disabled there too. If I manually select mail after clicking "edit" then the trash button appears but you have to go and manually select all mail to be deleted. I have a lot of filters in my accounts that send notifications of work related items. The subject lines always tell me what I want to know, so I never open the actual mail and after a day just want to empty the mailbox. Hopefully someone in coding at Apple discovers that disabling this feature for the few boneheads who accidentally deleted their entire mailbox because they didn't understand what the word "all" meant in "delete all" don't represent the majority of the world (or if those boneheads do represent the majority of the world then we are in huge trouble as a species, grin).

Agree totally!!

This is not correct, at the bottom i see Mark All in blue, move and delete are greyed out, there is no delete all.

Delete all was there in iOS 9

I Noticed that and it *****. Is Apple going backwards on upgrades

i get thousands of emails and now I have to touch everyone to delete

these people out think themselves

just put a **** switch in settings to turn trash all feature on or off

if you don't want that ability. It's enough to make me dump apple

And this dumb

change in the clicking noise as well

I totally agree, I hope Apple sends an update that corrects this. What a pain to have to select and delete every mail one at a time!

Is there as way we can report this up to Apple?? I have a mailbox which get's several alerts an hour sent to it from my monitoring/syslog servers. A lot of them are more informational rather than important so I usually scan through them to make sure there's nothing I need to action and then use the Delete all to clear the mailbox.

Now Apple have removed this option I've resorted to having to logon to my WINDOWS pc running Outlook to remove all the email from the mailbox instead. They've left the "Mark All As Read" option so why they've removed the "Delete All" option is beyond me.

This has to be a bug because i'm sure Apple do RnD before they push stuff out and surely this wasn't present in the BETA too, because I really can't imagine it would have passed through otherwise.

You can send a message to apple.com/feedback.

i encourage everyone who needs this function back send s direct feedbsck as we don't know if apple teads these forum.

I Have same issue. I have an email setup to receive security notices that

sends me notices several

hundred times a day. So now I also have to scrap

mail provided on iPhone and go to outlook app which has its

own issues.

Wby go backwards. If this is problemfor people

that use inbox as filling cabinet then create a switch

where those people can turn delete all function off.

With all the functionality they provide for controlling

the colors, add back something that really matters

for the efficient use of the phone.

Thanks

Your directions only work in the "Trash" folder for a mail folder. This does not work in the "Inbox" of the mail folder. Many of us have mail accounts that receive messages that we need to delete in mass blocks. I sure hope Apple fixes this oversight soon.
