Can no longer select all or delete all emails in IOS 18.2

my iPad keeps losing the ‘edit’ in the inboxes so i cannot select mail to delete. Some days I have the ‘edit’ command. Some days it’s missing.

We have the select button but it no longer gives you the option to “select all”. This means you have to go one by one. Not convenient at all when you have multiple mailboxes.

Have you read my earlier reply to this thread of 21st December - in which I describe a method to quickly select and delete multiple mail messages?

I also can't delete any emails at all in any folder. This makes it super difficult to find emails and their new categories systems doesn't make this easier. Also, there were new companies that I got deliveries from and others that used to end up in my junk folder. Now there is nothing in my junk folder. So what, now I'll always miss important emails???

Please fix this issue Apple

I took two fingers and swiped LEFT, and it allowed me to select all of my emails and delete them. The edit button returned to the top right of the email list! But notice that I had to swipe left instead of right.

I’m 68 years old. I have enough challenges in my daily life without having to deal with this nonsense. Come on, Apple! 😤

Do you not see a "Select" button at the upper-right when you look in any of your mailboxes?

BLESS YOU! My anxiety can go away now 😂

What is the two finger swipe? I can’t find anywhere. TY Lisa

Swiping to right worked!👏

yep! perfect!! worked!!!

When I hit select/all/trash, the phone freezes and when I close and reopen the app, all the messages are still there.
