I have left tens of hundreds, 1000s?, of emails in both my sent and inbox. And wish to delete them. Is there a quicker way then one-by-one? I've tried holding down Ctrl and highlighting multiple emails without success. Please help a senior citizen ... thanks Dennis

Ctrl works, but you only get to select or deselect a mail with a click. shift selects everything between the two clicks and ctrl+A selects everything in the folder.

When doing this sort of thing, pressing delete is perhaps better that using your mouse as it is easy to mess up the carefully crafted selection with a mouse jiggle at the wrong time. (Experience talking here)
