How to select all email for deletion

I guess the easiest way would be to download your email to a client and set your client to deleted messages from the server. Then the next time you updated, messages would be deleted. Or you can go to webmail and delete them there.

Yes it does but blackberry works differently than android for email. My WinMo Omnia II also handled email better. Android is still a young OS and will hopefully improve in leaps.

After learning the basics of phone and system, the issue of not being able to select multiple email to delete is my major issue with the operating system. BB is known for its email services for good reason. I hope google/Andriod catches up.

Has anyone ever figure out a way of mass deleting without selecting e-mails one by one? I receive over 100 emails per day...now, not to forget, once you have deleted them, you must empty your trash also, one by one, which takes the same insane time....oh! and the sent folder....god this is stupid.

That s exactly what I have done, much better, still not BBerry mail, but hey, at least i don't loose 2 hrs deleting e-mails every now and then....

thanks for the hints.. :-)

I have a few questions regarding my Samsung Galaxy S II (via Sprint).

1. I have never seen a phone that did not have a "select all and/or delete all" selection for e-mail.  That is in e-mail they all have to be deleted one at a time.  This has to be repeated from the trash bin as well (why some here state that they have a delete all I don't know unless it is something specific to the Samsung/Sprint phone).  I cannot tell you how much of an issue this is when one gets over 100 e-mails a day.
2. To make the above worse, I delete all e-mails and then (after also deleting them from my computer several hours later) the same e-mails will come in again???
3. I am also receiving e-mails from no one dated (12/31/1969) and some are marked "null". 

What the heck is going on with this e-mail program.  It is at such a point that I almost want to go backt to my HTC EVO to avoid all of this.  I love the phone but all of the problems seem to revolve around e-mail.

I have talked to both Sprint and Samsung and neither can answer any of the questions however upon searching I was able to get some information on the 1969 question
