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.

have a select button so you can delete multiple emails at once
I would like to be able to delete multiple emails at the same time. I do not like the idea of having to open every email to delete it. many of the emails or spam or junk and I do not wish to open them. I prefer just to be able 2 delete them at one time.

Hey, Everyone!
We added some features to make deleting emails faster.
You can customize your left and right swipe actions for easier deletion of emails without opening them. To do so head to the app Settings > Swipe Options from there you will be able to choose from a list of swipe actions.
We also have included the ability to mass delete multiple emails at one time: To do so Tap and hold any email in the folder > top on the 3 vertical dots on the top right corner > Choose select all > Tap the trash icon at the top of the screen.
We currently do not have the setting to delete emails directly from the notification but you can help us by adding your votes and comments to the following link: https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/293346-outlook-for-android/suggestions/8065947-allow-customized-buttons-in-notifications-such-as
