I can't seem to find a way to mass delete all emails from my iPhone. Is there currently a way to do that? It would be very unfortunate to have to go through and delete each individual email, and that would be extremely time consuming.

Just wondering if anyone's found out how to go about doing this.

damn I just made this thread...lol.

Mods can you delete mine. I'm having the same problem. Once you delete them they go into the trash can and then you have to do it again.

Right - you can select from within Settings -> select email account -> Advanced... -> Deleted Messages - Remove after... and I selected "After one day" so it will delete it from the Trash after one day.

But I'm just unsure how to mass delete all emails in your inbox.

thanks for the tip.

I will do that and just wait a day.
