Oct 6, 2016 9:56 AM in response to Jodimnewmanby Kbkrueger,I tried this and somehow ended up with 448 supposedly unread emails but can't seem to find them anywhere. They were originally deleted but now seem to be "ghost" emails. I've emptied the trash and all other folders, rebooted my iPad 3 times and still can't find them to delete them. Very annoying!
I wish Apple would provide better, more concise release notes when pushing out a new version!

Oct 7, 2016 1:47 AM in response to Kbkruegerby kbass58,Almost the same for me. Now all messages are deleted, but mail is still occupying 1,2 Gb of memory. No message is in the trash can, I did the soft reset three times... don't know what else I can try.

Oct 8, 2016 1:35 AM in response to Alisonlowe76by CrippsD,We waited God knows how long for the Delete All function to be introduced and when it was I almost cheered! Now the dozy son of ******* have removed about the most useful function for keeping your inbox manageable there was!!! And that without a by your leave..! OK so there is a convoluted workaround, but no-one has answered the question as to Why it was removed.. What dimwit did it? WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY WHY!!!!!!!!!?
Bring it back quick!!

Oct 8, 2016 6:44 AM in response to CrippsDby Brian Oak,Hear, hear!
It appears the convoluted workaround can make messages disappear without actually deleting them, so they can never be deleted; read this thread thoroughly if you haven't noticed this documented. Further, the "workaround" is almost impossible to accomplish for anyone with the use of only one hand. I hope Apple wakes up and fixes this bungle super quickly. (It should have already been fixed, but, well....)

Oct 8, 2016 9:08 AM in response to Brian Oakby kbass58,So that's what happened to me! I succeded in deleting all messages, but Mail is still occupying 1,2 Gb of memory. Do I need to reset all to zero and reinstall everything from a backup?

Oct 8, 2016 10:05 AM in response to kbass58by Brian Oak,I don't know how your mail setup is configured, so I'm in no position to recommend anything radical—especially when there's a possibility of data loss. I'm an IT professional, and you need to work with someone like me in this situation, but I doubt Apple would approve of using their forum for a consulting engagement. It's important that you find someone knowledgeable to help you with this issue, since I assume you don't wish to lose all of your email. Don't turn a frustrating situation into a catastrophe.

Oct 8, 2016 10:43 AM in response to Brian Oakby kbass58,Thanks for your help, Brian. I don't care loosing my emails on the iphone, I got them in my computer. So I think I will reset all. Frustrating, but the only solution I guess.
Anyway, Steve Jobs will have let them shovel salt in a mine...

Oct 8, 2016 12:55 PM in response to kbass58by wilbur_the_goose,I ended up doing the only thing that works (and I'm a very experienced IT professional).
I deleted my e-mail accounts from my iPhone and have gone back to using MS Outlook on my PC. Apple just doesn't care about their products' usability - next time, I'm going with Android

Oct 11, 2016 8:46 AM in response to Yarliby bnrosman,Release 9 worked beatutifully. DELETE ALL.
The new kluge is equal to the IOS 8 kluge.
Bring back DELETE ALL.
-
Oct 11, 2016 8:50 AM in response to bnrosmanby bnrosman,The DELETE All works on the Trash Folder. It does not appear for the inbox.
The Move kluge to the Trash folder is required. Then do the delete all.
Insanity.

Oct 11, 2016 2:54 PM in response to Mhartlerby Critters222,Amazing, thank you. I wonder how you even worked that out, but it worked for me. Prior to IOS9 I used to delete the entire email account as a workaround to deleting all email, but in IOS 10 the email comes back again after setting up the account. I do not know why they had to take this feature away

Oct 11, 2016 4:19 PM in response to Critters222by S. Sinclair,I think that workaround may cause other mailbox issues. I suspect this doesn't actually moves the mail to the trash.
