The way I did this is as follows. Move all your important messages to a folder and then export them. Then delete your all mail messages, then go to trash and tell them to delete for good. ONce you do this, they will be all gone. I had to do this about a month ago because I had over 12 thousand messages, that weren't needed. Like I said, make sure you export messages you want to keep, otherwise they will delete them too when you say delete for good. I use outlook sometimes on the windows side, and all I did is create a local folder, move a copy of the important messages there. Went to the gmail website, and did what I explained above. once it was done, I moved the messages back to the labels where I wanted them.
