How does one delete all emails in iOS 8?

Since there isn't an option to mark all for deletion, I am tired of checking or swiping each individual email to delete.  I tried the technique of marking all read, checking one email, press/hold move button while unchecking, moving what appears to be all my mail selected and watching it slide to the trash; but when I check trash to delete all from there, it's empty and all the mail is back where it was.  HELP!  Am I missing something (I am an iPhone newbie but not a techie neophyte) or did something this simple get overlooked?

There is no option/settings on the iphone to delete all email message.  You would need to go to edit - then select the emails you want to delete.
if you have an imap email account, you can do a mass delete on your computer and it will reflect on your iphone.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's how it's supposed to work, you can't stop it. If this isn't what you want you should get yourself a POP based email account.

    I would like to delete recovered email from the time machine that I no longer need these. How do I delete these?

    Right click should give the option to "Delete all Backups of [file or folder name]".
    If it doesn't, check the permissions of the folder on your HD.

  • How does one delete all information on iPhone for resale

    I also want to put all current information on new iphone 4s

    Gord-
    First do a final sync of the old phone. Then hook up the new one and restore (it will take quite a while). You can then just reset the old one to factory settings.
    Others do a back up, then use find my iphone to delete all data, then plug in new one and do the restore on that phone.
    Both ways work fine.
    Cheers,

  • How do I delete ALL emails on Droid Turbo (pop3)?

    I have a Droid Turbo, and love it. But I cannot figure out how to mass delete (all) emails from the phone. I use Pop3 to my email.
    I know you can swipe individual emails to delete or press and hold on an email to select, then do the same individually to many and then delete, but I cannot find a "delete all" option like my previous Droid Maxx. Because I haven't been able to keep up with it, I have over 999 emails sitting in there with no way at the moment to delete them all unless I spend a few hours deleting each one, one by one.
    Any help here?
    Thanks.

    That is extremely disappointing. If I delete the account from my phone, will it delete all the messages that way? I might have to find a way to delete and re-add the mail into the phone as the current amount of messages is a large bloat to the phone.
    Also, where do I suggest this "delete all" be added to the phone? This was on the Droid Maxx and previous versions. It is odd they would remove an option that could cause extreme bloat.

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How do I delete all email messages in just one touch (delete all feature)?

    Does anyone know how to perform a "delete all" in order to delete all email messages rather than going through each message one at a time to move from the inbox to the trash folder, then delete from the trash folder permanently?  Currently, we seem to be able to only select one message at a time, rather than perform "Delete All".
    I read in a forum post about the "Delete All" button being available only when pressing Edit in the Trash folder.  Could someone please provide the sequence of steps to successfully delete all messages in one step?  Thanks.
    John Bottiger

    It is not possible other than as described by yourself - singly to the Trash folder and then collectively from there if you so wish.

  • 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.
    iPhone 4s
    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.
