While accessing your email from any device is convenient, messages can quickly accumulate. Learn how to delete all messages in an iOS 9 through iOS 12 folder using the Mail app.

Delete All Emails in an iOS Mail Folder

To delete all messages in an iOS 12 folder, iOS 11 folder, or iOS 10 folder:

1. To open the Mail app, tap it.
2. If the Mail app does not open automatically when you reach the Mailboxes screen, swipe backward until it does. Each email provider has its own folder section.
3. Scroll down the Mailbox screen until you locate the desired folder. To open the folder, tap it.
4. At the top of the screen, tap Edit.
5. To the left of each message, tap to place a check mark in the field.

To save time, skip tapping Mark All at the bottom of the screen. It lacks a Delete option. It does, however, include Flag and Mark As Read, if those are useful to you. The Trash folder is the sole exception.

6. Select the Trash icon to delete the emails from the folder. No confirmation screen or Undo button is present.

The Trash folder is the only folder that does not require you to tap each email to select it. After tapping Edit at the top of the screen, you can select Delete All at the bottom to completely empty the trash folder without selecting individual emails.

Delete All Emails in an iOS 9 Mail Folder

Delete messages is even faster in iOS 9, as you no longer have to tap each one individually. To delete all messages in an iOS 9 Mail folder, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the folder containing the messages you wish to delete.
2. In the top-right corner, tap Edit.
3. Select Delete All.
4. In the confirmation menu that appears, tap Delete All once more.

In iOS 9, the Mail app deletes all messages in a folder, not just those that were fetched to the device. If there are additional messages on the server, they are also deleted.

Delete all messages from iOS Mail smart folders such as Unread, VIP, or Today does not work.

Along with deleting emails, you can archive them and act on them in other ways.

Long passwords are harder to remember and harder to crack. Some suggestions:

• Use a short complete sentence with no spaces between words.
• Use the first letter of each word.
• Include two numbers or special characters. Put them at the start or end of the sentence or phrase, or in the middle if you remember.
• Keep it simple. Writing down your password compromises your security.
• Change your password often. Aim for every three or six months.
• AOL requires at least eight letters in a password and recommends but does not require special characters like!@#%.

Even strong passwords and frequent password changes won’t protect you from keyloggers or people watching you type your password. Be aware of your surroundings when accessing your mail in public settings, and use two-step verification.

Mailinator is a no-cost disposable email service that provides email addresses with the @mailinator.com domain. Use your Mailnator address to register for websites, register software, post to message boards, or in any other situation that requires an email address but does not require you to provide your real address.

Pros

• Addresses are simple to use and do not require any configuration.
• There is no link to your legitimate email address.
• When mailinator.com addresses are blocked, alternate domain names are available.
• Infinite email addresses.
• Log in to a Mailinator account using the username and password.

Cons

• Mailinator is only useful if you don’t want to receive mail.
• All Mailinator mail is public, which means that anyone can view the emails sent there.
• Emails sent to Mailinator are transient and will be deleted within a few hours.

Mailinator’s primary advantage is that the addresses you create are unrelated to your real email address. As a result, if registration email lists fall into the hands of spammers (whether accidentally, as a result of hacking, or as a result of a list being sold to spammers), you are protected from receiving spam.

Create a Mailinator Address

A benefit of using Mailinator is that there is no setup or registration required. You are not even required to visit the Mailinator website in order to create an account. Simply create an alias with the @mailinator.com domain and use it immediately (for example, [email protected]).

View Mailinator Emails

To access mail sent to your disposable addresses, navigate to the Mailinator public inbox. Due to the fact that nobody uses a password, Mailinator is only useful when you do not wish to communicate. All mail sent to Mailinator is public, which means that any message sent there can be viewed by anyone.
