Hello, if using the web site for gmail, you can only select all messages on the page, not all of them at once. You will have to use a real email client like Thunderbird to check all messages. Just be careful when deleting all mail since that contains everything literally, even your labeled messages which many think of as folders.

And how does one go about marking all the messages for deleting? I need to
get rid of about 4400 messages and have not figured out how to do a
universal delete.

Subject: Re: deleting from the all mail folder

Are we talking about Gmail here? You have about 8G of storage on your
Gmail
account, so you won't have to delete any messages to free up storage for
quite a while. Also, anything you specifically move to the Trash
folder (by
moving or deleting) will be deleted from the server after either 30 or 60
days. I have anything I delete moved to the Trash folder and then I don't
worry about the All Mail folder at all.

Remember too that every message you have will be in the All Mail folder.
For example, if you want to keep a message on VoiceOver around for a
while,
and you move it to a folder for future reference, it'll also show up
in your
All Mail folder. You may not want to delete such messages.

Hi, Just a quick question.  Should one delete emails from the all mail
folder from time to time?  Mine has about 250 emails in it as of right
now. Just wondering. Thanks.

God bless!
