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.

yes but if you follow my previous instructions you can move all to trash as a folder. good luck! It works on iOS 11.0.3
OK I did everything and once I moved it to trash I deleted it from trash, it automatically pops back up in my inbox. Why is is it doing that??
Mine does the same.
May be your email is IMAP and you need to change server preferences
I do that but the only folder listed to move them to is the Inbox.
Sorry for the trouble,
im
Thank you,I was having the same issue. Worked perfect👍
Oh my gosh it worked
Thanks so much, worked great, saved me hours of selecting every email to delete
Sorry. I thought I’d just try it again. It works. But then it just comes back.
If this is an exchange email account, why not manage deletions in mass on your computer?
It’s just a free iCloud email. I’ve had for years.i have some 3,000 emails. I don’t have a computer at the moment. Thx though.
Thank you. That’s great advice.
Just tried it works totally thanks
I was trying edit in the right corner but is not get all email , so just one to one.😕 apple
