I have 10,000 + messages in my email Trash folder that I want to delete all at once, not page by page. Is there any way to do this?

Hi pattimc2- It really depends on which email client you use. Most require a select all, and many require you to scroll down through the pages in order to delete them. I don't know of any simple way to delete that large of a set of data.
