Is there a way to delete all email messages from inbox without checking each one at a time on my iphone 4?

Whenever I want to delete messages in the inbox on my iphone 4, using v4.2.8, I have to manually check each one and then delete them the checked ones as a group. Is there a way to select all and delete them at one time? I love the phone and it is a little complaint, but I often get 50-60 work related messages which I scan then delete because the originals are on my work computer. Thanks.

Also, the iPhone is not a standalone device and obviously doesn't have a full blown mail client... it's an adjunct to your computer. If you want to delete a lot of emails, do it on your computer. You could also log into your webmail using a browser on your iPhone and do it from there.
You have a point, but you're just helping exposing the misery a little more: I actually DO delete the emails in WebMail, very easily. The problem is the sorry state of the Apple email client, that does not replicate those actions on the device, so I have to delete the messages TWICE--once on my computer, with a couple of clicks, and then on my iPhone, with a couple (hundreds) finger gestures.
As to your point that the iPhone is not a standalone device: that's nonsense. The iPhone does a lot of things that users thought IMPOSSIBLE just 10 years ago. Are you saying that the addition of a simple feature like a "Delete All Messages" button is too much for a mobile device? Then what to say about Siri, a complex-beyond-our-imagination system that incorporates voice recognition, AI, searching and other hard-to-grasp technologies, all at our fingertips?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

I have got a lot of apps, which are not installed on any of my iDevices anymore. is there a possibility to remove all those apps from iTunes without searching which ones are, and which ones aren't installed on one of my iDevices?

Assuming all the device(s) have been synced to this computer as its Home computer. The easiest way would be to delete all the apps from iTunes. After which connect your device(s) to the computer (iTunes) and transfer purchases from the device(s) by right click (control click) the device name in the left sidebar and the click transfer purchases. When done only the apps on your device(s) will be in you iTunes library.
Hope that helps

Is there a way to add transitions to several still pictures without doing them one at a time

Is there a way to add transitions to several still pictures without doing them one at a time

You don't say which version of the program you're using but, in version 10, if you select several media clips on the timeline at once, you can right-click and select the option to Add Default Transition between them all. (You can also designate any transition as the Default Transition.)
You can also use the Slideshow Creator in the Media panel to apply the Default Transition between any stills you've gathered to create a slideshow from.
And, if you create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer (prior to sending it to Premiere Elements), you can select the option to add random transitions between your slides.
You can learn how to do all of these thing step by step in my books, by the way, if you're interested.

Is there a way to delete all the messages for a user in CUC 8.6 ?

With Unity it was possible as an administrator, to delete all the messages in a user's mailbox, directly from the server (Windows). Now, with Unity Connection (8.6.1) is there a way to do the same ? When I'm logged as an administrator, I can see, for every user, the number of messages and the size (Mailbox menu) that they have in their mailbox, but what I want to do is to be able to delete all the messages for a specific user... Is it possible with CUC 8.6.1 ?

Hi there,
The best way with Unity Connection is with the use of this excellent tool from
the great suite of Unity Tools (** "reset" feature);
Unity Connection Bulk User Delete
For resetting users you have the option of emptying the mailbox, resetting greetings, deleting voice names, resetting passwords, removing private lists and a number of other options you may choose. For installations where the user base “changes over” frequently such as schools this may be a nicer option. This option is also allowed for CoRes installations since it does not involve the removal of user objects from the Connection database.

HT204150 Is there a way to delete an email address from an iPad's memory?

I once emailed my boss from my personal .mac email account so that is in his iPad memory. Yesterday he emailed me with a work related request and the email defaulted to my .mac account rather than my work email address. I don't often check my personal email since I'm chained to my office desk. I almost missed this email and that would have been bad for me and my boss' relationship. Can I delete it from his iPad to prevent this from happening going forward?

You can't - it is his ipad. How do you like them apples?
Seriously - you need to tell him that those emails will not reach you on time. The only way to delete those is to restore the ipad (cause they are cashed in) He would be completely craaaaazy to allow you to do that.

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 !!!

Is there a way to "delete all" iMessages in OSx instead of one at a time?

Is there a way to "delete all" iMessages in OS 10 (Yosemite) instead of one at a time? Now the only way seems to select each one, wait for the little "X" to pop up, select that, hit return to confirm delete, then do it again, and again, and again...

Hi,
You can highlight a chat by the list in the left of the main window and then use the File Menu > Delete conversation
Using the x only dismisses the chat from view.
Individual iMessages can be deleted one at a time by clicking on a Bubble but not the text (you will see bubble and text change in colour slightly) and then the Backspace key.
It is not possible to Clear in any way all the chats/conversation in the left hand list.

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.

Is there a way to select all emails at once on the iPad and then delete them at one time?

Tap on the edit button at the top right of the email list. This will let you select the emails to delete, once all are selected, tap on the bottom right button that says delete to delete them all at once.

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox at once?

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox in one move, rather than selecting one at a time, then deleting?

You CAN delete all your email. Here's how: >> 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 you will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad. Once you have moved all messages to the trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and touch Edit. The Delete All button shows up at the bottom of the screen. Hit it! You’re done! If you do not see the effects of your actions on the server make sure you have enabled your email accounts for such actions.

Is there a way to delete old emails in icloud all at once instead of 6 at a time?

Is there a way to delete all the old emails in icloud with one click of a button instead of 6 at a time?

If it's an iCloud email account, go to icloud.com from your computer. Then you can select email by clicking the first, then shift-clicking that last and pressing your delete key. Don't try to delete more than about 500 at a time or it will probably hang.
If it's a different email provider, go to their webmail site and do the same thing.

Is there a way to remove all email at once on iPad first generation?

Is there a way to remove all email at once on iPad first generation?

Issue does not apply to just first gen iPads, but all iOS devices. The only place in the native mail app that permits deleting en mass is the trash folder. In all other folders you must tap each message to select it before deleting. There may be alternate mail apps that include this function in the app store, but I have yet to find one.

In OS 10.8.4 is there a way to delete unread emails as a batch?

I have a lot of unread emails. In OS 10.8.4 is there a way to delete unread emails as a batch?

If you sort them by their read/unread status by clicking that column header, they will be grouped together in the mailbox list, making it easier to select them together.
You could also create a Smart Mailbox with the criteria set to Message Is Unread, resulting in a Smart Mailbox that only contains unread messages. Then you just Select All and Delete.
