How do I delete multiple emails at one time

I have a ton of emails that I don't need to keep on my iPad. Is there a way to delete everything at once without tapping each individual email? If not, can I just delete the accounts and then re-enter them?
Thanks,

You can do it from the Email app the way described by Japid, it's still not fast by any means at all. but, I believe that if you use Yahoo or Google, etc.......you can go to the site on Safari and log into your, say, Yahoo account from there. That should give you more & faster options for deleting groups of e-mails at a time. I know, I literally have tens of thousands on an account I've had for years. I should just delete it, but I'm unable to convince myself for some stupid reason, as if I'm going to miss some important message from a work mate I had 8 years and 2 jobs ago or something lame.

How can I delete multiple playlists at one time?

For some reason I have hundreds of random playlists? How can I delete them all at once, is it possible?

Here are two ways I would try:
You can hold down your shift key while selecting playlists. This allows you to select multiple items. However, it does not allow you to skip over a playlist. All contiguous lists will be selected using this method. Once you have all the playlists selected, right click on the selection and choose delete.
If method one won't work because you want to pick and choose lists to delete, I'd make a folder and pull all of the lists I don't want into this folder. Then you can delete the whole folder. Once you have all of the playlists you no longer want in the folder, just right click on the folder and choose delete.

Is there a way to delete multiple emails at one time?

I did a search but didn't find anything on this.
I just got the new 3G and when I setup one of my email accounts (not .mac) it downloaded 700 emails from that account even though about 600 had been previously deleted.
Is there a way to select multiple emails for deletion? Deleting that many one at a time would be tedious to say the least.

These messages may have been deleted from the email client used on your computer for accessing the account but they weren't deleted at the incoming mail server for the account. If so, the iPhone's Mail client would not have downloaded these messages.
With the mailbox selected, select edit. Each message that you want to delete must be selected which will place a check in the circle to the left of the message.
Select Delete at the bottom.

How do I "delete all" emails at one time ??

I use POP3 email accounts. There isn't a slick way (that I can see) to select every email from your inbox and delete them. Has anyone come up with a solution for this ??
And please don't answer with: switch to an imap account.

Thanks!

I don't access an antiquated email account type, so I have nothing to complain about.
If Apple included a delete all at once option for an account's Inbox mailbox, the habitual whiners that did this by accident would come unglued.

How do i delete multiple photos at one time from the cameral roll on iPhone?

I need space on my iPhone4s, and have thousands of photos on the camera roll, which are backed up on my computer, so want to delete them. MUST I delete by choosing them individually and deleting, or is there a way to mass delete them?

I just had the same problem. I had 8.6 GB of photos on my camera roll, and my new iPhone only had 16 GB. The error message telling me that I had run out of space kept coming up, and I couldn't take any more pictures. So I followed wjosten's suggestions.

Launch Image Capture from your applications folder, connect your phone...does Image Capture see the photos? If so, you can use Image Capture to delete them.
It really only helped to have a mac, and image capture ran perfectly.
*When you open Image Capture, all I had to do was click on the red warning/danger sign to delete the selected photos. I have my phone streaming with my Mac, so I didn't discriminate between all my old photos had already been backed up.

How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once?

How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once? I use AOL and when I delete the emails off of my computer, they do not delete from my phone. So I have hundreds of unwanted messages showing on my phone but I have not found an option to delete all messages, only individually. I would also like to be able to clear the messages from my phone without them deleting from my computer. This was super easy with my blackberry and I have not found anything similar on this phone.

When I go to the trash folder on my Stratosphere, I can check individual emails and then hit "Menu" and "Delete", but if I hit the "Menu" button before selecting any e-mails, then I see the "Delete all" button, but it's greyed out, so I cannot select it. There's also a "Restore All" button next to the "Delete all" button, and it's also greyed out. So, currently the only way I can delete the 100's of e-mails in my trash is to put a check mark next to each one, which is painful. Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution?

How do I delete multiple emails on iPad 3rd generation

From each Inbox...
Tap “Edit”
Tap “Mark All” then tap “Mark as Read”
Again, tap "Edit"
Select first email (adds dot and check mark)
Put your finger on “Move” without releasing
With other hand, put finger on first email and Slowly Drag down on email list then release
(your other finger is still on “Move”)
Deselect first email (it may take a couple of taps)
Release “Move”
Wait a while if you have a large number of emails
Tap the Trash icon
All your emails should be deleted
