How do I delete more than one but not all emails at once?
I don't want to have to click on or check mark 6K emails individually to erase them all. This seem like a most basic feature element. Can it be done efficiently? or at all?

It is a basic element. It it the standard computer selection method that has been around forever.
Select one message and press control+a to select all
Select item 1, move up or down several items and hold the shift key while clicking item 2. This will select items 1 and 2 and all items in between.
Holding the control key while clicking on random items will select anything that is clicked on.
Hold the control key when clicking a selected item will deselect that item.

One way to do it: Right-click on the folder and select "Search Messages" from the menu. Enter your search criteria for the messages you want to delete. After the search completed, click into the list in the lower part of the search window and use the Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut to highlight all results. Now you can delete them all at once (or move them somewhere else, which I would recommend as an intermediate step if your deleted message aren't moved to Trash but deleted right away, in case your search caught some messages you didn't want to lose).
