Is there a way to delete multiple emails at one time?

I did a search but didn't find anything on this.
I just got the new 3G and when I setup one of my email accounts (not .mac) it downloaded 700 emails from that account even though about 600 had been previously deleted.
Is there a way to select multiple emails for deletion? Deleting that many one at a time would be tedious to say the least.

These messages may have been deleted from the email client used on your computer for accessing the account but they weren't deleted at the incoming mail server for the account. If so, the iPhone's Mail client would not have downloaded these messages.
With the mailbox selected, select edit. Each message that you want to delete must be selected which will place a check in the circle to the left of the message.
Select Delete at the bottom.

  • Is there a way to delete multiple emails ipad ios7

    Is there a way to delete multiple emails on my ipad with ios7?
    The manual says,
    "Delete, move, or mark multiple messages. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit. Select
    some messages or tap Mark All, then choose an action. If you make a mistake, shake iPad
    immediately to undo"
    Unfortunately, there is no "Mark All".

    This is an ios7 issue - from what I can tell...

    Select a message, hold the move button, deselect the message while still holding the move button.
    A new window appears allowing you to move all messages to the trash.
    Bingo!

  • How do I delete multiple emails at one time

    I have a ton of emails that I don't need to keep on my iPad. Is there a way to delete everything at once without tapping each individual email? If not, can I just delete the accounts and then re-enter them?
    Thanks,

    You can do it from the Email app the way described by Japid, it's still not fast by any means at all. but, I believe that if you use Yahoo or Google, etc.......you can go to the site on Safari and log into your, say, Yahoo account from there. That should give you more & faster options for deleting groups of e-mails at a time. I know, I literally have tens of thousands on an account I've had for years. I should just delete it, but I'm unable to convince myself for some stupid reason, as if I'm going to miss some important  message from a work mate I had 8 years and 2 jobs ago or something lame.

    I duplicated all my pictures. Is there any way to delete the duplicates without deleting them one at a time. I now have 44,000 pictures and have 22,000 duplicates

    Easiest solution: restore from your back up.
    Other than that: For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator or Decloner

  • Is there any way to delete multiple emails at once?

    Just set up my iphone 5 including my email account.  now I have to clear our 4,000 emails.  Is there an easy way to do this?

    I have just brought Iphone 4 and I have the similar issue. I am getting nearly 1000 mails daily. out of which I have to delete few according to subject line or To line. Can you please tell me how can I "SELECT ALL" and then "DELETE ALL" after I search those mails.
    Its annoying to mark  each mail as its too much. Is there "DELETE ALL" method ?
    FYI, I have even tried below method
    Searched my mail
    after search completed, > Edit > selected only one mail so 3 button enabled at bottom i.e delete, move,mark > pressed and hold the Move button and deselected mail
    > this opens move window. it also shows total number of mail in search
    > selected TRASH folder and move
    > it shows no mails in search at that time. which means all mails were moved to TRASH.
    But when I go back to mail account main folder, all the mails are there.
    I was able to do delete multiple mails in BlackBerry curve, so I expected that iphone will handle this too when I brought this phone.
    can you please help.

  • Is there a way of deleting multiple emails?

    It seems crazy to me that with all this technology the iphone has to offer it misses one of the most basic features and that is, being able to delete all emails. To sit there and delete them one at a time is a nightmare, surly it can not be that difficult to add this feature to the iphone. Also there is no way that i can be the only person who this is driving mad.
    If anybody knows of an easier way could you pls tell me what it is. The even worst thing about the deleting is that its not even that effective, i press edit then delete one at a time if it registers on the iphone. Sometimes you have to touch the button a few times for it to delete!
    Help before i go crazy! aaaaaah!

    This is not supported at the present time but if this is an IMAP account that you are also accessing with an email client on your computer, you can do the deletions with your computer's email client which will be reflected with the iPhone's email client automatically.

  • Is there a way to delete multiple emails on my ipad?

    I have tried everything and have 756 email to delete so going through them individually is not going to happen.

    Thank you so much but....there's always a but! Emails on servers have usually "sent" emails to the device so that by the time you log into your server and your device is switched on, they have already been delivered. Once delivered the problem of deleting them from the device - iPad in this instance - has arrived. As mentioned previously, the technical "Experts" from Apple could solve the problem but for some unfathomable reason are not smart enough to do so? Perhaps they are not incentives enough? Thanks again.

  • How to delete multiple emails at one time instead of individually

    I want to select random emails (not all in a row sequentially) and delete with single function. I don't want to have to delete each unwanted email individually.How to d this?
    Also, There is no delete function at top of email screen-why not?

    Have you ever deleted multiple files in Explorer at once? Thunderbird works the same way.
    Select the first message you want to delete. Then press and hold Shift and select the last message to be deleted. This selects all messages in between the first and the last one.
    By holding down Ctrl and click on an individual messages you can select or de-select it.
    Then press Del to delete all selected messages.

  • ID CS4: Is there a way to resize multiple objects at one time?

    InDesign CS4: I have a group of object frames that I need to resize (I don't care about resizing the content, I know how to do that) and I'm wondering if there's a way to resize them all at once to a specific size. If I group them and resize them it only gives me the group height and width, I want them each to be a specific measurement.
    Any suggestions or know plug-ins to help?

    If you don't want to use data merge or xml, you can also place multiple images in one action.

  • Email pdf to iPad - is there a way to open multiple pdfs at one time without having to hold each individually and open with adobe reader?

    I have a large number of pdf files to send to an iPad and it is taking forever to hold down each one and then choose to open with adobe reader.  Just wondering if there is a way to select all from the email to do the same action?

    Not that i know of but an alternate would be to use something like dropbox instead of mail. Their app works very well.

  • Can I delete multiple songs at one time from my iPad mini

    Is there a way to delete multiple songs at one time without doing a hard reset?

    Here are two ways I would try:
    You can hold down your shift key while selecting playlists. This allows you to select multiple items. However, it does not allow you to skip over a playlist. All contiguous lists will be selected using this method. Once you have all the playlists selected, right click on the selection and choose delete.
    If method one won't work because you want to pick and choose lists to delete, I'd make a folder and pull all of the lists I don't want into this folder. Then you can delete the whole folder. Once you have all of the playlists you no longer want in the folder, just right click on the folder and choose delete.

    Open your Photos App > Camera Roll > At the top right corner you will see a rectangle with a right arrow, select that. Now you can select as many photos as you want and you can hit the red Delete button on the bottom right.
