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.

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.

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.

Is there a way of swapping all data over from one ipad to another ipad and vice verse?

Another family member and I both have iPad 3, they have with 3g and mine just wifi. We are discussing swapping so I can have the 3g feature as its more useful for me. Is there a way of swapping all their data to my ipad and my data to their ipad so it is a straight swap?

What you want to do would be no different that restoring your current content to a brand new iPad. You should both do as described below and then erase your respective devices and make the swap.
First ... and you both want to do this.... Transfer purchases from your iPad into iTunes on your computer, backup the iPad and then sync with iTunes.
These two articles will explain how to do that.

You may want to import photos from the device to your computer as well so that you can sync them back at a later time. Your camera roll photos are stored in the backup, but it never hurts to be proactive.
Read about importing photos here.

After you have transferred purchases, backed up and transferred photos, you can erase your iPad before you swap devices. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That will completely wipe your devices.
Now you can swap and you will both be starting from scratch like you did when the iPad was new.
When you re-activate the new iPad, the one you are getting from your family member - toward the end of the activation process you will be given the opportunity to restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup. You want to select the iTunes option. So you will have to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes.
Restoring from the backup will recover all of you app data and settings, syncing with iTunes will recover all of your apps, books, photos, music and other media

HT5137 Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

There is no way to close all apps at once. When you leave an app , most apps stop working immediately. A few apps will continue to complete the task they were working on. Mail is an example of that. There is a short time limit though after which the app stops running and the state you left it in is stored. Quitting apps does not increase battery life.

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?

Replacing nav bar--is there a way to change all pages at once?

I widened my site off of an iweb template and now the nav bar looks bad since it's too narrow and there is text that appears outside of the nav bar background. Since I can't change the color or looks of the nav bar, I've decided to put my own on top of it. This means if I have any changes down the line, I have to change the nav bar on every page. I have a page that nothing is linked to where I save graphic elements, so I can copy it, and paste on each page--a hassle when you have 50+ pages, and no idea how many pages I'll have in the end. IT was nice to have the automatic nav bar and header/footer, but boy how stupid to not be able to edit them unless you're a tech geek and understand all the coding!!

a hassle when you have 50+ pages
You should try it when you have 170+ pages!
No, there is no simple way to change all pages at once. I use exactly the same method as you are doing now. Having proper user definable templates is on my wish list for future releases of iWeb.

Is there a way to remove all the overlays in DPS?

Nothing is working for me. Is there a way to just remove all the overlays in DPS and start over, without redoing my whole layout?

Not en masse, but if you select each element that has an overlay applied, there is a reset button at the bottom of the Overlay Creator window.

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 :

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 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.
