How to delete all emails in inbox at once on iPhone 4S?

I read a previous discussion about this, but that was when I was on iOS6. Is there a way to do this on iOS7? I've got hundreds of emails in my inbox, and evertime I try to delete a bunch of them, more just come flooding in.

I've got tons in the server, too, because I don't go in and delete them there after they have been loaded into my desktop inbox in iMail, just in case I deleted something in iMail and need to find it again. Emails are automatically deleted from the server after 2 weeks anyway, but they seem to stay in the iPhone inbox. Wish there was a "delete all" for the iPhone. Hoping maybe in the next OS.

    How do I delete all emails at once in the ipad inbox

    You actually can:
    it took me weeks of research to figure out finally how to decode this yet another secretive secrets of apple. there is a perfect way of deleting ALL emails at once without jailbreaking your iphone or ipad...and here it is:
    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 u will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad.
    once you have moved all messages to trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and click edit. the delete all button shows up at the bottom of the screen. hit it! you r done!
    if you do not see effects of your actions on the server make sure you have enabled Your email accounts for such actions.
    tips:
    1. please give enough time (could take upto several minutes depending the number of emails to be moved) for the emails to be selected for the move. your screen will become unresponsive while all emails are being packaged. once emails are ready, in ipad, you will see them zoomed out on the right hand side of the screen, and in iphone you will see the message showing you the actual number of messages that have been selected.
    2. avoid purging very large number of emails, the mail app might freeze or crash. if your inbox has thousands of emails change your sync settings in mail settings to fill lesser number of emails in you inbox

  • How do delete all email from a mail box?

    On both iPad 2 and iPhone 4G there are mail boxes that accumulate a mass of mail. I must delete messages individually! Is there a way to delete all mail simultaneously?

    This is a better and much easier way to delete multiple emails in inbox
    1. Go to your inbox
    2. Press Edit
    3. Tap any message once to select it
    4. Press AND HOLD the Move button
    5. While still holding the Move button, tap the message you selected
    6. Release the Move button
    7. This will bring up a dialog box asking you which folder you’d like to move all your messages to – just select the Trash folder and you’re all done

  • BPEL deleted all emails form Inbox

    Hello
    I configured Actionable Email for BPEL Human workflow. I gave all my email server details inside the ns_emails.xml file. ( Under <IncomingServerSettings> )
    But upon restart of BPEL server I saw that my email Inbox folder became empty and I believe BPEL server's email listener have read all my emails and deleted them from Inbox folder.
    Well good news is its reading but bad part is I lost my all email :(
    Is there a way we can tell BPEL server not to delete the incoming emails while listening on particular email account ? I can see that there are some options inside the <IncomingServerSettings>.
    Like , <PostReadOperation>
    <MarkAsRead/>
    </PostReadOperation>
    What is the significance of PostReadOperation ? What could be the possible values ? I had hard to find ANY documentation on this.
    Thanks
    /Mishit

    Yeah you are correct, I am using POP3. I have heard about IMAP protocol too but I was not aware of the difference between POP3 and IMAP.
    So this means with IMAP BPEL server doesn't delete the emails from Inbox and so at the same time we should be able to see those emails through any client application.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • How to delete all ALERTS in iCal at once?

    Over the years I have added repeating Events with Alerts to iCal on various devices (some of them passed on to my relatives). As a  result I get plenty of Alert emails or sounds. I find it onerous to go through all repeating events to delete the alert. Hence my question: how to delete all Alerts at once?
    Thanks for any suggestions/pointers/ideas. Cheers, Veit

    Hi John,
    Thanks so much for your help with this problem. I am trying to remove alerts for a couple of specific shared calendars (which I can edit) but am having some difficulty due to my inexperience with applescript! I am also not sure where else to go for help solving this problem.
    My plan is to run your script a couple of times specifying one calendar at a time by name.
    This is the modification I made to your script:
    tell application "Calendar"
      activate
              delay 0.5
              display alert "Removing all alarms from your editable calendars" message "This process may take some time and is permanent. Are you sure you want to do this?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} cancel button 2
              set calname to "Consultant_on_call"
      --- repeat with myCalendar in (calendars whose writable is true)
              repeat with myCalendar in (calendars whose name is calname)
                        repeat with myEvent in events of myCalendar
      delete display alarms of myEvent
      delete mail alarms of myEvent
      delete sound alarms of myEvent
      delete open file alarms of myEvent
                        end repeat
              end repeat
              display alert "Removing all alarms from your editable calendars" message "This process is complete." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
    end tell
    Are you able to tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks again.

  • How to delete ALL emails at once on  iPad 2- (Not one at a time) -?

    I came across this link for how to delete multiple (ALL)  emails at the same time on the iPad 2. (on a non - jailbroken device).
    It seems that it's working for people, but it isn't working for me. Has this worked for anyone else on an iPad 2? (non-jailbroken)?
    Here is a link to the post :
    Please let me know if it works for you and if so, hopefully I can figure out why it isn't working for me. Thanks.

    Yes, it definitely takes a while if you have a lot of emails to trash.
    Also, I've noticed with IOS7, it takes longer, even if there aren't that many emails. But at least it works !!!

  • How to delete all email attachments to free up space?

    I'm on a MBP with a 240 GB SSD. Somehow my Mail folder is 90 GB!
    I'd like to have an expert tell me how to go about deleting all of the attachments from my SSD so that I can free up space.
    My set up is several work email accounts, and one personal email account, on Mail.app, all IMAP via Google Apps and Gmail.
    I found this, and tried it, but only freed up 4 GB, which doesn't make sense to me???

    Thanks!

    Could you break this down for me more specifically?  Hit menu after I've gotten into my email?  I don't see delete in the menu (only the box to the left of the actual email itself).  Thanks for any help!!

  • How to delete all emails in one click

    I did a search but couldn't find anything. Is it possible to "select all" in the email application when you want to delete a bunch of unwanted emails? Instead of having to click edit edit and click each one individually?
    Thanks so much for your time in reading this

    Yes you can by tapping each one after you have opened your mailbox. There is a circle to the left of the message and at the bottom there is a delete box.

  • How to delete ALL my iTunes playlists at once?

    Got a problem guys
    I'm using iTunes 10, and everytime I add an album of music it creates a playlist automatically for the album.
    I recently added a large directory of music and it automatically created several hundred playlists in my itunes.  I discovered I could only delete them individually, which is a nightmare.
    So then I tried outright uninstalling iTunes.  I uninstalled, rebooted, downloaded a fresh itunes 10, re-installed and started itunes back up and all my library and all my playlists somehow re-appeared.  I want to uninstall EVERYTHING on iTunes and start fresh.  So I uninstalled again, removed all my temporary files on my computer, rebooted and re-installed and all my itunes **** re-appeared again on the fresh install.
    How do I either mass delete playlists, or install a 100% fresh version of iTunes with no playlists?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    this is one more of Apple's weird functions/bugs, whatever.
    just click on the first one (playlist), and then keep the "backspace" (←)button pressed until all are gone.
    Cheers

  • 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.
