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.

That is right. That is SIMPLE. They have to check each junk email before they put all delete. ;)
Very Helpful
🙂
You are my hero. It’s ridiculous you can’t select all the emails at once and delete them in an intuitive way, but your method worked perfectly. Thanks!
Maybe I am missing something but this is not working for me. Thanks for your help.
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.
How can I delete my one thousand + email all at the same time rather than one at a time
OMG you’re a genius!!! Thank you so much...you just saved me hours. I had over 4,000 emai, and they were gone in less than 10 seconds.
