How do you delete emails?

I used to be able to check the emails I wanted to delete and no matter how many I checked they all deleted at the same time. Now I can't find how to do this. I have been deleted them one at a time and when you have over a hundred that takes too much time. So how do I do it more than one at a time? And my spam or trash doesn't delete more than one at a time. Please help!!!

    You have two options, choose whichever seems easiest

    To delete all in one step

    Click the box of the first message

    Scroll down to the last message

    Shift click the box

    Click the Delete tab and OK

    OR

    Click the tiny box at the top of the list

    Then the delete tab and OK deletes 50 messages

    Repeat until done

    Hi. Friend,

    In your yahoo mail account show tool bar on the top side, here right corner shows a check box for select all the mail. If you want to delete all mail then you can use this option. Otherwise show a check box right corner of the mails you can also select this box for deleting particular mail. I think it is the best solution for your query.

    Thanks.
