How to delete all emails on iPhone
How do I delete all emails in iOS 11 on Iphone at once?

iPhone 7, iOS 11.0.1
Seriously deleting 3000 emails will take me over an hour at least and I’ve done this every time I got a new iPhone.

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!

Thankyou so much, just deleted hundreds of emails in one go!
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
Yes, I was snarky and shouldn't have been. But then you were too when you accused Apple of trying to force people to buy a phone with more storage. Still, two snarks don't make a right.
That is amazing!! Thanks so much!
I have over 10,000 emails, how do I delete all of them at once?

This works! Over 1800 emails gone in seconds! I have an iPhone 6sPlus. Thank you for pointing out this unkown function/glitch?. Saved hours.
