Hi Robert and others, The ability to "Delete All" in the Trash folder has been there for a long time. I personally couldn't care less whether there is a Delete All option in the Inbox because at no time ever do I want to delete all my email. Of course this depends on how you setup your mail accounts and I could see how you might want to do this if you use POP where you also download the messages on a computer. However, if you sync a mail account using IMAP or Exchange/Exchange Active Sync, then you typically delete the messages you don't want and leave those you do want because deleting all messages would also delete them for good from all your other devices. I always have at least 2 or 3 and sometimes 10 or 15 messages in my personal Inbox and between 10 and 100 in my business Inbox and these are things I need to deal with before I delete them or move them to a folder. I know this question has come up before, but I wonder how many people would actually use a Delete All option. Of course Apple could provide it making sure to ask for at least one confirmation because the last thing you want to do is accidently delete all your mail out of the Inbox although hopefully you would notice the mistake and be able to get it back from the Trash before you empty it.

I find it interesting, that you can go in to the junk folder, and trash folder, mark all of the e-mails, flag them, and then delete the entire amount at once, but you can not do this with the inbox. It seems to me, that Apple must have thought about doing this with the inbox, or is going to allow it in a future release if the junk and trash folder allow it.
