[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1816713, member: 83420"] To be truthful from the start, I've not tried Ashwin's suggested workaround (post #2), but I can say that with iOS devices, it depends very much on whether your email account is POP3 or IMAP. If POP3, then what Jake posted (post #3) is the only, and very laborious way of doing things. (Unless using third party apps). But if your account is IMAP, than when you tap on Edit, you can Select All, then Delete. Then, however you've done the first delete, you have to go into the Deleted Box, Tap on Edit > Delete All (this part works for both POP and IMAP). (I know this from bitter experience. When I'm away from home and open Mail on my iPad Pro, the POP account emails have to be initially deleted one by one; whereas my iCloud account which is IMAP allows Edit > Delete All. In both cases, I then have to Tap on the Deleted Box where Edit > Delete All works for both as stated above) Ian [/QUOTE]
