Deleting Emails

[Caran]

I'm sure I've asked before but can't find it. Had email to say my box is full. I think they mean the sent box, I checked and nearly 2500 messages in there.
Tried to delete but can only do it one by one. I'm sure I found out how to delete all. This is on an iPad. Can anyone help please.

Caran, you should be able to click on the box on the left hand side and do lots at a time. Just go, click,click,click down the page.

I don't think there is a delete all button.

[Caran]

There is a delete all button on trash, thought there might be one for sent, I am going down the list clicking each one, a long job.

[Tilly2]

Yes, you can delete all in trash and in spam.

Do a couple of pages at a time. It could take days. :-)

I think the option to delete lots at a time disappeared with the last update of the iOS operating system.

Which is a pain.

And no one can understand why Apple make these annoying changes-for-the-worse.

I do mine on a daily basis. I read my current emails and save important ones, then I get rid of all the rubbish.
