Is there a way to delete more than one email at a time in the inbox. Also, how do I delete all the mail in the "delete" subfolder?

I did found an answer for deleting inbox emails using the "shift" key but it is a slow process, as I have 8k emails. I find that they all go into the "delete" folder of which I have to go through the same process as stated above to permanently delete them. The "trash" folder I can right click on it and select "empty trash" and it is all gone. This feature is not available for the "delete" folder. Has anyone found an easy way to empty the "delete" folder?

ctrl+a will select all emails currently shown. In delete folder just select mails using ctrl+a and delete them using delete button on your keyboard, or from context menu.
