Q: iOS 10 mail...no delete all

Where has this option gone in iOS 10 Mail? You can no longer delete all in sent mail..

Real pain having to delete each on in turn.

 

is there a way round this anyone please?

    If this is under the trash folder then click on edit & at the bottom of the screen you have mark all & delete all.

    Tbh this is the same way to delete all mails under most if not all folders.

    Hi

    In mail go to all inboxes then to mailboxes scroll down page until you get to each

    Mail account then you see junk- trash you can delete all at once.

    Cheers

    This is not about deleting, what's already in the trash - it is about going to your inbox, clicking "Edit" and not being able to click "delete" because it is not active.

     

    To escalate this, Mail is reloading deleted messages, so there are 500 of them. But this I also had with iOS 9

    To clarify : using iOS 10 Mail, sent items -

    In iOS 9 you clicked EDIT > DELETE ALL, in iOS 10 the only option is to EDIT > then mark each one individually... not good...

    Mail reloading deleted messages after using "delete all" is a well documented issue which has existed since version iOS9. It only occurs with POP accounts and strangely it did not appear to affect all users.

     

    Are you experiencing it on iOS10? Can you confirm the account is a POP account?

     

    I was hoping it would be cured by iOS10. I guess Apple don't consider it a priority issue 'cause their mail is IMAP.

    TRASH appears in Inbox & Sent folders > DELETE appears in the Trash folder... correct?

     

    I was hopeful the TRASH ALL feature had been deliberately omitted as a cure to the issue with iOS9 where using it made all deleted emails magically re-appear.

     

    Much as I miss the TRASH/DELETE ALL feature, selecting each mail individually is preferable to having hundreds of emails magically re-appear.

    I have this same issue and it seems many responders are failing to understand the issue.  It seems that, with the update, the "delete all" function has disappeared from every mailbox except trash.  The move function has also disappeared from the mailboxes.  The exception to this is if ONLY one mail is selected, but, if you select more than one mail (after clicking edit) then the delete/trash and move functions gray out.

     

    This is not good.  I have many filters on my mail that send certain types of mails to various mailboxes.  I used to open those boxes, sometimes mails at 50+ per hour flow to those boxes, and could just hit "edit" and "delete all" and they would go to trash.  Now there is no delete feature after hitting edit.  The only thing allowed is to mark all as read or unread, or flag all.

     

    Highly inconvenient.  Even for my mail accounts that use a "deleted mail" folder instead of a "trash" folder this function has gone away.  The only way right now I can delete all this mail is to go to Outlook on my computer and do it, or log into the browser for Gmail and do it there.  Fix this please.

    Should both work correctly, but both go wrong. Yesterday I deleted 500 mails. Takes about 8 minutes.
