Deleting all INBOX emails in my Yahoo email account.?

In my yahoo email account I have accumulated several thousands of mails in inbox. How do I delete fast all of them, even the ones not showing on the screen; fast means without having to bring them up batch by batch on the screen and selecting all then clicking delete. Please I am talking about the messages acumulated in my Yahoo inbox, not bulk box, not trash box, but inbox: i + n + b + o + x = inbox, INBOX.

    theres no quick way of doing it, but if you click a box at the bottom(check all or somat like that)then select delete from the drop down list,you will delete the entire page of e-mails.

    please be warned this means all of them, if you find an email that you would like to keep, it would be better to create and/or move it into a folder so that you can continue to use the box option.

    on the other hand, how the heck did you manage to aqquire 7 thousand e-mails?
