How do I delete all of my emails in one go

Since downloading ios8 I have had a problem with my emails. I had 497 emails but I can't delete them all at once as they are phishing emails. All I get is All mailboxes, but I need another mailbox so I can delete them

I believe scottishroyalty is mistaken. As far as I know there are no contacts stored within iTunes. He must mean that he deleted duplicate contacts within the Contacts app on his computer.
The issue I have with sberman's solution is that after using that method to delete all contacts on your iPhone, when you turn the Contacts switch back to "ON" in your phone's iCloud settings all the old contacts are put back on your phone and you're right back where you started.
I posted a very detailed account of my issue here:

If anyone knows how to delete old/unwated contacts from your iPhone and from iCloud and have them remain deleted, yet continue to have iCloud sync with the iPhone, please follow the above link and let me know.
Thanks for any help!

How do I leave delete all of my emails in one account

How do I delete all of the email in one single account? I have three accounts on my iPad.

Aha, here is the trick:
go to the mailbox you want to delete all the mail from
select any one message
press and hold the move button, and while you are still holding it, deselect the email you selected
wait a few second
it will select ALL the emails with an option to move, and you can move them to the trash.
Unlike the select all method that used to be possible, you will not get a list of selected emails with the option to deselect some of them. So if there were a few you wanted to keep, you will have to go to the trash box, find them and rescue them.

How do I delete all my sent emails on IPad 2? I only get 2 options: Flag and Mark as Unread. It doesn't let me Mark All of them.

Have been trying to figure out how to delete all of my sent mail on my IPad 2...it only lets me choose to Flag or Mark as Unread. It will take me hours to go through and check off each one. I have 2 years of emails in my sent folder!

Unfortunately, there is no way to select them all at once to delete them. You do have to select one at a time.

If its a POP account, it most likely cannot be changed... Its just the service you signed up for. I suggest deleting on your computer, and then on your iPhone, remove the email address. Then re-add the email and it should only load whats currently on the POP server.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

>> Open Inbox >> Edit >> Mark All >> Mark As Read
>> Open Inbox >> Edit >> Check/select the top message; it will highlight the move button.
>> Press and hold the move button and uncheck the message that you had checked earlier.
>> Lift all your fingers off from the ipad screen and leave it alone. Wait until all your messages pile up on the right hand portion of the screen (in ipad); iphone will give you the actual number of emails it has selected for the action. Now they are just waiting for your command to be moved ALL at once.
>> Choose trash to delete all of them or any other folder where u want to move them, like one piece. Remember this will replicate your action on the server so you will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad.
Once you have moved all messages to the trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and touch Edit. The Delete All button shows up at the bottom of the screen. Hit it! You’re done!
