Ability to delete emails all together instead of one at a time
I want to delete all my emails once

Hi there,
Thank you for using Outlook Mobile and sharing your ideas with us. We really appreciate your support.
It is currently already possible to perform bulk action in the app. To do this, long press on an email until a checkmark appears at the left of it. Once you’ve selected multiple emails, you’ll then be able to perform the following actions: deleting, marking as read, archiving. A “Select All” option will also appear in the top right corner.
Having trouble finding the feature? Let us know through the Help section of the app in the Settings. (Settings > Help and Feedback > Contact Support). We’re here to help.
Thank you again for your support, we look forward to hearing more of your ideas very soon.
All the best
The Outlook Mobile Team

Avoir un bouton qui permet de sélectionner tous les mails, pour pouvoir les supprimer d'un seul coup. Pour l'instant je suis obligée de les sélectionner un par un, ce qui prend trop de temps. Ma boîte mail finit par être saturée et je ne reçoit plus tous les derniers mails si ma boîte est pleine.

I'm 'in the same boat'. Has this issue been resolved?
In essence, as I understand it. We would like to look at the inbox, apply a filter to find all the email from a particular sender, then delete all the emails identified by that filter. And have the capability of group selecting emails found by the filter, and deleting only them; just in case the user wants to keep some of emails found by the filter. -

Please read all this message and answer ALL of it. How can I delete mass messages without deleting all of them at once? What I do now takes TOO much time. I currently go to the date I want to delete backwards in time from, hold down 1 email so it is checked. Then check down by scrolling, but I can only do 99 at a time. Then I go to trash and permanently delete them. I have many thousands to delete. I don't have days to so this slow procedure. There has to be a better way!! Please help!!!!

this doesn't resolve what I think is being asked. I believe what's being asked is the ability to delete a sorted list. I.e. search for all emails from say "groupon"; once sorted, delete all this list.

it's so frustrating not being able to delete a day's worth especially when you can see they're in important and most likely just subscriptions

When looking at emails after a break and noticing many from an address e.g. Marks and Spencer rather than deleting them one by one I would like the option to delete all of them at once.

Add an option to select all emails received by each day at once instead of just having the options of every email or 1 at a time as I don't usually want to select every email and selecting them all one by one is incredibly time consuming

There is a feature to get check boxes to come up to delete several emails at once but it takes forever to clear out my emails. Its forces you to delete every page or select them individually. You used to could just check the top box and delete the emails on the page you saw, which was a lot quicker and didnt delete things I wanted to keep. Please bring this feature back.
