Seriously deleting 3000 emails will take me over an hour at least and I’ve done this every time I got a new iPhone.
If you follow the instructions that myndlis gives (see Oct 3, 2017 3:07 PM), you'll only need to select one random email to delete ALL of your emails.
To be specific, myndlis posted the following:
"It's a glitch and it works!
Open the mailbox you decided to delete, press Edit at the top right corner, select one random email, then press and hold "Move" and while you hold it, unselect the email previously selected. When you release the "Move" button, then you can choose to move all mail to trash or another folder. Voilá!
Regards."
I followed the instructions, and it worked just as it has for other people as well.
The thing is, you might not think that all of your emails have been selected when you start with just one random email. But, if you literally follow each step of the instructions, then ALL of your emails will be deleted at the same time.

This doesn’t work in the latest version (11.2.6).
It does in mine, keep trying. It didn’t work first time round so I kept at it.
I tested it again after upgrading to 11.2.6 and had no problem. Trash is also still an option
For some reason "Helpful" on your post isn't available for me to click/tap, so I wanted to post that it was helpful to get this confirmation. Thank you.
I did this and it worked--but all the emails came back after about one minute, even though I had deleted them all in Trash. Any suggestions for fixes? Thanks!
GREAT INFO. THANKS
That is amazing!! Thanks so much!
I have over 10,000 emails, how do I delete all of them at once?

Excellent! Thank you
Thanks, after trying to delete 875 emails one by one, I was getting very frustrated. This way worked like a charm. Super easy
