How to Delete All Emails in iOS 9

Delete All Emails in iOS 9

We have heard the complaints about people are not able to delete all email from their iPad or iPhone. There have something technical to do, as they need weird finger gymnastics and it doesn’t work all the time.

Happily, Apple has heard this complain too, so in latest iOS9 they have included a quick method to delete all email easily. Just go in your inbox, click the Edit link in the top right corner in inbox, then click the Trash All link in the bottom right corner. You will be given a warning to confirm that are you sure to delete all your email? Do so and all your emails will be deleted and sent to the trash folder. Remember that this method will not work if you are in the folder of All Inboxes- it will work only with per-account basis.

If you want to delete all email from your iPhone, go to your All Trash (or Trash) folder, tap the Edit link, then hit the Delete All link, and then confirm. Now all unwanted emails removed permanently!

However, if you are not using iOS 9 yet, you still need to use a workaround. Select Inbox or All Inboxes, press Edit button, hit the circle to the left side of each of your email, then click and hold for a while Move button with one finger, then, with other finger, uncheck all the emails you checked recently. When you move your finger from Move button, all of your emails should be selected to shift into new location; select to move them to the Trash.
