The easiest way: Log in to mail.google.com, Click All Mail select messages and delete them. You can select a whole page by clicking the checkbox at the top of the listing.


Mac mail: Open the mailbox, on the Edit Menu choose Select All then click trash.


iPhone/iPad Mail: Open the mailbox, tap Select, then Select All and click the trash.


These steps will delete all messages in the mailbox. You can be more selective by choosing fewer messages; in both mail.google.com and Mac Mail:


Click on the first of a series of messages you want to delete, then holding the SHIFT key click the last one of a sequence (which will select all between the first and last) and click the Trash.
