Select All in Mailboxes in iOS

I am looking to find out if there's some shortcut, trick, or hint as to how to do a select all in one of the mailboxes in Mail for iOS.  I realize you can Delete All in the trash, which is helpful, but I'm looking for a way to, for example, not have to tap every single message in Sent when I'm clearing out that mailbox (sometimes if I forget to do so it can have 100+ messages, and I have to tap each one to select it--tedious!).
If there is no way to do this, has anyone heard of plans to add a select all to inbox messages?  If not, how do I suggest it to Apple?

Same place it's always been, on the attached bluetooth keyboard. ;-)
I figured when I read the message that it was worth a shot.  Command-A works in Pages, inside an e-mail, etc.  And there are tons of hidden shortcuts, like Command-L in Safari for iOS does move the cursor up to the URL field.  I found that one by accident.

  • I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. Now were can i go to paste all 400 of them and get them back ?

    I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. The only place I can seem to be able to paste and see them is while making a new message in gmail and then when i tried to send them the message comes back blank and looks like below. what can i do to retrieve them?

    As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

  • How do i remove an Update notification? I do not want to update to the latest iOS (Asian languages) which is useless to me and I don't want to waste space on my iPad. I want to be able to "Select All" instead of doing each update individually.

    That's quite a title I created!  Sorry, I've never submitted a question before! ☺ I do not want to update to the latest iOS (Asian language stuff) which is useless to me and I don't want to waste space on my iPhone 4S and iPad 5. I want to be able to "Select All" updates instead of doing each update individually. It's a real pain in the you-know-what. Does anyone know how to I remove this notification (and any other updates I'm not interested in) from the Updates page? Thanks so much everyone!

    Thanks so much for your time!  I wish you had a more positive answer, but c'est la vie!  I hate the fact that I cannot control my apps and feel like a hostage of the developer(s). I've read other forums and some responses were "then delete the app!"  Lame answer!  So thank you so much for your respectful and insightful reply!  Cheers.

  • Best approach to select multiple/all photos from the iOS CameraRoll?

    I want to use FlashBuilder 4.5.1 to build a flex mobile photo organizer project that lets me select multiple photos from the iPhone Camera Roll.
    I've seen the flash.media.CameraRoll class, but it only seems to provide CameraRoll.browseForImage() that opens a dialog to pick ONE photo.
    Has anyone built an app that lets users select multiple photos or select all from the CameraRoll? Can you access the embedded thumbnail DB or do you have to import all the photos into the ApplicationStorageDirectory first? Am I better off writing a native iOS application?
    Does flex mobile allow something like this:
    // is this a security violation?
    var cameraRoll:File = new File('/var/mobile/Media/DCIM');
    var photos:Array = [];
    var folders:Array = cameraRoll.getDirectoryListing();
    for (var i:int=0 ; i<folders.length; i++) {
        var files:Array = folders[i].getDirectoryListing();
        for (var j:int=0 ; j<files.length; j++) {
            var photo:File = files[j];
            photos.push(photo);
    // show photos, somehow...
    However, this method does not provide access to thumbnails managed by: '/var/mobile/User/Media/Photos/Photo Database'
    from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6936881/how-do-you-access-the-ios-camera-roll-from-a-fl ex-mobile-project

    I paid someone to write a Native iOS app that works ok, but it's hard for me to extend. The "select multiple/all" photos component works fine, but loading the photos into the app sandbox is VERY SLOW, and not properly threaded.
    I would like to move my dev to FlexMobile and am willing to contribute my current code if someone wants to take a hack at it. Please feel free to fork https://github.com/mixersoft/odesk-11563930
    I'd help, but I only know scripting languages.

  • Closes applications when you use the select all function in the Hebrew language, ios version 7.0.3

    Hi I upgraded to Ios version 7.0.3, I use the Hebrew language.
    I have a problem when I select all the Hebrew alphabet, no matter where (it's sms, email, Internet, all applications on the device, and the device itself, search, contacts, calendar).
    The device closes the application, and then I open the application and has no caption or a site that was supposed to be before closing as if I started now.
    The problem occurs even when I write in the search for the problem device does re-lighting the device as if you just turned on the device (no open applications for example).
    It only happens in Hebrew only, if there are English and Hebrew together this glitch does not appear.
    I tried other languages English Chinese Russian Indian, they respond well to highlight the text individually without the Hebrew language.
    It happened in the previous version 7.0.0.
    In older versions it never happened and working already more than a year.
    This problem also appears in iPhone 4 and iPad 2 on the same Apple id I have iPhone and same version id of the fault doesn't exist and thought at first it was a sugary but all applications are deleted almost everything and the problem still exists.

    If you have any questions, ideas I would love to hear from you.
    English is not my speech but my second language.
    All I write is translation so if there is anything you don't understand, sorry in advance.
    If there is a mistake in translation, please correct me so I can learn from my mistakes.
    Thank you all.

  • Why the emails in ios cannot be select all with one click?? i have to select one each time to can delete all...i need so much one button "mark all emails" in the mail of ios on my iPhone)

    hello, all...
    Please somebody know one way to select all emails in one touch in ios on iphone.
    In brazil, were i live, nobody have this answer.
    Thanks a lot.
    Paula

    This does not answer/solve the OP's question/problem as they would still have to select each email individually before selecting the "delete all" button. In the end this the same as selecting "delete" on each message individiually.
    There is no practical way to do what the OP wants.

    Hello Sophie59
    You should be able to see two different tabs when setting up the email if you go to Other > Add Mail Account. Once you enter in the email address and password, you should be at the next screen to provide more details about the email as far as incoming and outgoing servers and at the top there will be a blue section to add it in as a POP or IMAP email account. Check out the article below for further troubleshooting and emails setup options.

  • Select all in email

    I'm a new iMAC owner and how do I use the mouse to select all in email? What I want to do is delete all the emails in my trash. On a PC I can right click and select all would appear. On my iMacI know I can use cmdA or move the cursor to edit on the task bar at the top and click select there. Both these solutions are combersome. Further, can I right click in text to get to select all?
    Thanks,
    Mr. Allen

    You can arrange to have the Trash mailbox emptied on a regular schedule. Open Mail preferences, click on the Accounts icon in the toolbar. Select your account. Click on the Mailbox Behaviors tab. You can configure the Trash mailbox to be emptied regularly by selecting an option from the drop down menu.

  • What is the best method to provide an option to select "All" for LOV ?

    Some posts sugest that you should "UNION" the origional select with something like (select "all" from dual ) this works as a seperate query but if you want to use and existintg query this is not very clean as viewlinks are not taken into account. We could also pass back an array list and include the all option in the list but that gets away from having the client use the iterator in the pagedef for other requirments of the page.
    Whats the best way to approach this with the new features in 11g?

  • In mini bridge is there a key stroke to "select all" images?

    Hello,
    In mini bridge is there a key stroke to “select all” images? I’d prefer a key stroke instead of having to use the View drop down menu to select all, and "Ctl A" doesn't do anything.
    Thank you.

    Select a message in the mailbox or highlight a mailbox, then keys command-a to select all.

  • Delete all (Select All .. Delete) Podcasts

    I have over 200 podcasts that I want to delete from my iPad.  These 200+ instances are daily podcasts from the same show, so there appear in the same list.  There does not appear to be a way to delete all of these podcasts at once, e.g. Select All -> Delete in the iPad interface.
    Workaround:  I can connect the device to a computer and delete all of the podcasts with iTunes, but this is a PITA.
    This iOS functionality appears to be the same for iPhone and iPod Touch, i.e. can't do it.
    Am I correct?

  • IPhone 5 - on a website; how to select all without dragging blue dots?

    I Would like to send a pasted copy of a website as an email.  I know I can drag the blue dots but that is a hassle.  How can I easily "select all"?
    Using iPhone 5.
    Not the most recent IOS if that makes difference.
    Thanks for your response.
    Bob L.

    The blue dots appear when you hold your finger down for a few seconds on a word. Instead, just tap the word, and there should be options, including Select and Select All.
    It might be easier to tap the share button. In the row of button at the bottom of the screen in Safari, i.e. previous and next, new tab, etc; the middle icon is the share button. Choose Mail.

  • Why can't I select all text in mail?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 5, and noticed that I no longer have the option to 'select all' in a mail document?!?  If I tap &amp; hold on the document, my choices are 'copy', 'define', and 'speak'. The select all option is no longer present. I use this feature quite a bit &amp; I really want it back.  Is there some setting I can change somewhere?
    Thanks, anyone who can help
    Natalie

    i got same issue like you on iOS 5.0.1, not only in mail but also in safari or other apps.
    sometimes i can make the 'select all' option out but when i did it, did nothing.

  • How do I select all albums in a genre for playback on an iphone 5 running ios7?

    In IOS 6 on my iphone, I was able to swipe down and get a screen that allowed me to select all albums and swipe again and select all songs within the genre. I cannot seem to find this function in IOS 7. Does it exist?

    Mary,
    Unfortunately, there is no direct way to exclude an album from search results and combine that with other search criteria. (The search facilities of PSE have a lot of such sloppiness in their detailed design.)
    But heres a workaround: In the Organize pane, select the Disney Dec 2008 album, so only those photos are showing. Select all of them and assign them a new temporary tag Temp. Then click Show All, select the Disney 2008 tag, and right-click the Temp tag and select Exclude Photos.
