How to erase email without deleting each email one by one

more options

I am scrolling down one email at a time and clicking on the delete key. Is there a combination of key strokes that will allow me to delete several emails at one time. Thanks and happy holidays

I guess you never learned the standard computer selection methods.

control+a = selects all

click one item 1, move up or down several items and hold the shift key down while clicking on item 2 - this select items 1 and 2 and all items in between

hold the control key down while clicking on random items - this will select any item clicked on

hold the control key down while clicking a selected item - this will deselect that item

Thanks for the info. My instructions were to be "nice", so I assumed I'd get a "nice" reply. Could have done without the patronizing first sentence.
