Looking for an email app to be able to delete multiple emails from particular senders at the same time

I’m looking for an iOS app, to be able to delete lots of emails from individual centers at the same time. For example I might have 39 pages of emails from one sender and I don’t wanna have to click 1000 times to Select all the emails from that sender, I know you can do that on windows by searching and doing select all and delete, and I heard you could do it on apple you used to be able to do it on iOS, but it doesn’t look like anymore, and I was wondering if anyone has any apps I have lots of emailsthat I want to delete from individual senders easily so if someone knows of any apps that can do that please let me know. Thank you very much. Preferably a free app that doesn’t need subscriptions to be able to delete all the multiple emails. Thank you carlos

For example, if you are using Gmail, you may be able to do this with the official Google app.

Pretty sure you could do this with a Bluetooth keyboard. So search for your sender, hit cmd-a to select all, and delete. Repeat as necessary.

As Khomus suggested, you, can, do this with the iOS mail app. However you really need a bluetooth keyboard to make it work.
1. Open the Mail app.
2. Access the Search field, and type something like the name of the sender, or their email address, and press Return.
3. In the list that populates from your search, press Command + 'a' to select all, then press delete to delete everything selected.

Hope this makes sense. :)

Hi,
You can do this in the Outlook app. You don't need a bluetooth keyboard, so if you haven't got one, it doesn't matter. Search for a recipient's name, then in the search results, tap three times on a message, then this will bring up multi-select mode. You can either double tap on 'select all', and navigate to the 'delete' button, or choose which messages you want to delete by double tapping on each one individually. You can choose what search results you want such as messages from that recipient, or messages to that recipient. You have to explore by touch, some of these options are at the bottom of the screen. The Outlook app is free. But you might be able to multi-select messages like that in the native mail app too. I've just tried the method above in the Outlook app and it worked.

You might be able to do something with the rotor in Mail if you pick edit or whatever the thing is to select multiple messages too. I don't have anything I really want to experiment with because I don't want to accidentally delete all of my email or something. I just know it would work with a keyboard pretty easily, which is why I said that.
