If you look through this post before replying, a solution has been given multiple times for this oversight from Apple.

In the meantime, submit feedback about this omitted feature to Apple here.

Good Luck!

They haven't changed this, yet.

AND, I suspect this won't change in iOS 11.

If you read most of this posting, I have already mentioned a great alternative iOS email client instead of default iOS Mail app.

It's called simply

EMail

by Edison (formerly Easilydo) Software.

Email - Fast & Secure mail for all Accounts by Edison Software Inc.

I do this all of the time.

Good Luck!

Thanks so much for a simple workable solution!!

I will just add that before you 'Trash' using your solution above, first select edit in the appropriate inbox, then 'mark all', then 'Mark as read'. Then proceed as per your instructions. 😉

It's happening. Has anyone seem the movie Idiocracy? We are not just catering to the lowest common denominator, we are protecting them from themselves. Trash all. Yeah, I guess it is confusing.

Trash all means Trash ALL and we need to be able to do it.

Oops, thus does work. Sorry...

However, if you have nothing in your trash box for that specific email acct., you first need to "manually" trash at least one email. Then wait a little (3 mins?) and follow the instructions Hve57 posted

See my solution for this on the previous page of this post.

If you want your delete all back, as well as, a few really cool bells and whistles that will make you email life easier, go to iOS App Store for an email app simply called

Email

Email - Fast & Secure mail for Gmail iCloud Yahoo on the App Store

This email app supports many other email services, now.

Apple is insane if it thinks I'm going to go through hundreds of unwanted emails, tapping each one, one by one, to get rid of them. The messages just loaded themselves into a Mail mailbox on my brand new iPad Pro and there's no way to Trash All? What are you thinking Apple? Fix this.

Thank you, going to check this out tonight.

Made the grave mistake of thinking outlook on ios would be a good solution. Which lead to the disbelief that all the major e-mail apps do not provide basic search > delete/move functions.

Honestly, the frustration level.

Honesrly, Apple‘s engineering decision to remove the select all/ mark all / delete all function is so illogical from a practical standpoint it makes one have to serious question if there is a profit motive behind such seeming insanity.... specifically if they make users have to be inefficient wrt managing their email it inevitably will have a certain number of users have to purchase more icloud or phone GB space to service the inevitable space needs associated with no longer being able search group and group delete target emails. Seems like such a basics functional need yet it has fallen on deaf and irresponsive ears....

I really think all the late night talk show host should make a comedy shame/blaming Apple into reversing this decision.... I can see it now Jimmy Kimmel pulls out his Iphone and beginnings by asking “anybody else having angst over have now 23000 plus emails in their inbox with no way to effectively efficiently remove them?!”

There are 3rd party email client options for iOS that have the features you need/crave.

I've mentioned only one, but it's the ONLY third party email client that closely mimics pre-iOS 10 Mail app and brings back that Delete All function and much more.

I have been using recommended third party email app since iOS 10 Mail app got rid of this function.

Third party iOS email client apps are available.

No.

See if there are other third party iOS email apps that supoort POP Mail protocol accounts.

I think you may have a tough time finding one in the iOS App Store.

Most email clients support the more common IMAP standard.

Good Luck!

I am seeing the same issue. I have an email account that sends security updates. i get hundreds of them and I dont't need to read all of them. In iOS 9 I was able to "trash all" of them. No I am on iOS 10 the feature is gone. Please bring this feature back
