How to Delete All Unread Emails Quickly on Your iPhone & iPad

We've already gone over how to delete or remove an email account from your iPhone. Now, let's learn what to do if you don't want to delete your entire account.

Open the Mail app.
Tap All Inboxes, or select a specific email account.
Tap the Filter icon at the bottom of the screen, then tap Edit in the upper-right corner.
Without pressing, start at the empty circle to the left of the first email you want to delete and swipe down to bottom of the page with your finger and hold it there until all the unread emails are selected.
You'll see all the circles become highlighted in blue, and the number of emails you've selected at the top of the page. If a preview of the first email pops up instead, you have used too much pressure.
Once you've selected all the emails you'd like to delete, tap Trash.
Before I started this process, I had over five hundred unread emails in my Inbox.
After a few seconds of swiping, I deleted hundreds of unread emails.

If you realize at this point that you've messed up and don't want to delete everything, after all, don't panic. Undo the mass deletion by using Shake to Undo. Just give your iPhone a shake and then tap Undo. It may take a while to restore the emails.
