ICloud Mail, deleting all mail.

Question

I have been using the iCloud mail from quite sometime now (Sense the first iPod Touch) and I have noticed it has grown quite a bit from the first release of the iCloud severs came out with the mail option and there is nothing that has shown me how to delete all mail from the server on the system and it is kinda heard to delete my Gmail n' iCloud mail with the combination of over 3500 E-Mail on file from the server in my inbox so is there any possible way to delete all of the mail?

Answer 1

You Gmail wouldn't be on the iCloud server; iCloud only hosts iCloud email.  To delete your iCloud email, open your mail on icloud.com, click a folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, scroll down and shift-click another email to select the range, then click on the trash can icon at the top.  You will get an error if you try to select too many at once so you'll have to experiment to see how many you can select to delete at a time.  Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash.  When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the upper right and select Empty Trash.
