I don't know of a way to delete large quantities of email at once. I can highlight all emails on my current screen and select "delete" but there must be a way to speed this up. Thank you!

You could sort on sender so these messages would be grouped together. Then you can use shift+click to select them.

Or use the Quickfilter Bar to show only messages from that sender, then ctrl+a will select them all.

Having selected them your delete key does the rest.

If you're getting messages from certain people that you never read then you could set up a filter to either move them out of sight or delete them.
