How to delete masses of outdated emails on iPad 3?

I use an iMac w/ OS 10.7.5. We have had an iPad 1 and I have just purchased a new iPad 3 [from Apple] to replace the old one. When we open Mail there are hundreds [!!] of old emails. My wife is busily trying to delete them individually. QUESTIONS: Why are all those e-mail showing up? Is there anyway to do a 'mass' deletion?

In the settings on the new iPad go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Mail>Show >>>> and select a smaller amount of recent messages to show in the account.
There is no built in feature that allows you to mass delete emails, but one user found a way to do it. Look at the response from Destef_12 in this discussion.

    Could someone please tell me hoe to delete all my many emails on iPad 2 all at once? Thank you

    You can't delete them all at once on the iPad. You have to select them one at a time. Once the emails are in the trash, you can Delete All from there.

    Can Anyone help me on how to delete imported album/pictures from my ipad? I imported them from my camera to ipad. I already connected it to my itunes but i cant seem to delete the imported ones. Thanks!!

    If you connect your iPad to your computer via USB, when it opens on the left hand side of the iTunes screen, click it once to open it.  Then click on the Photos tab and uncheck the photos/albums you had synced to your iPad, which you no longer wish to keep there.  Then click Apply on the lower right hand side and the photos will be removed.

  • 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.

  • How to delete ALL previously sent email addresses from *iPad*

    I use my Apple ID to set up my kids' iPad Minis, which in retrospect was not so bright.
    Now when my child starts typing the recipient's name for an email all of MY previously sent email addresses come up, many of which are work-related.
    I know I can click on the blue "I" and remove them one by one, but I have over 1,000 contacts - so one by one just isn't practical. Is there a way to delete them all in one go?
    Again - this is on the iPad mini, NOT laptop/desktop. I know how to do it on my MBP but can't find anything out there for the bulk deletion on the iPad.
    Thanks!

    Any idea how the addresses "synced" on there to begin with? Surely there's an "unsync" feature?
    My email addresses are not being used on the iPad so it must have something to do with my Apple ID.
