It can be a challenge to delete multiple emails. I’ll look at some of the concepts and techniques used by various email programs to make it easier.

Deleting multiple emails
The most common approach to deleting large numbers of emails is to display as many as possible in your email program or website, sort or search by the criteria that defines what it is you want to delete, and then use a combination of click and shift-click to select the specific set of emails to be deleted. Once the desired messages are selected, you can then delete them. Exactly how, and what selection capabilities are available will depend dramatically on your email program or interface.
