My inbox needs serious editing. Many junk emails. I would like to delete emails in groups but do not know how to select or highlight an entire group that can then be deleted.

You can click on any column header to sort on that column. Clicking the same header a second time reverses the sort. Then you use basic computer skills to select multiple items Click on item 1. Move up or down several items and hold the shift key when clicking on item 2. This selects items 1 and 2 and all in between. Hold the control key while clicking random item will select any item clicked on. Select one item. Press control+a to select all. Hold the control key when clicking a selected item to deselect that item.
