📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the difficulty of deleting multiple junk or spam emails simultaneously in the Windows Mail app, particularly in versions around 10061. The original poster is seeking a bulk delete option to avoid deleting messages individually, which is not available or clear in the current version. Contributors note that earlier versions allowed for easier bulk deletion, and some suggest workarounds like selecting all messages or deleting from the Trash folder directly, indicating that the feature may still be a work in progress.

Hi
I haven't upgraded to 10061 yet, but in 10049 I sent my junk mail to the trash can and it just disappeared.
However all of the folders have a check box at the top to "Select All".
Is the new version different?

It is different not sure how to explain it. All my spam or junk mail goes to a folder called balk mail. That is for yahoo accounts. I just removed that account. Having to delete each one at a time was getting to me. Every thing that wasn't from people I know or Microsoft related I marked as spam.

Me either.
I think the new "mail" app is caught in the development cycle and is missing some features right now.
Not as bad as the new "people" app but still, a work in progress.
Although it's a relatively simple task to open your Trash folder, select the top most item and then just click the hell out of the "delete" item near the top right, of what I'll call for lack of a better term the menu bar, until they're all gone.
