Emptying a folder is a clumsy several-step process in Gmail, whereas Yahoo Mail and Hotmail have an “Empty” link that requires a single click, and after an “are you sure” confirmation, all messages in that folder are deleted, regardless of how many messages there are.
That’s how easy it should be, but Gmail apparently likes to complicate it.

I want to delete ALL the messages in the inbox as well as the spam and junk but there is no place to click on that will do that. I hate to have to click on each email individually, that would take a week. Please tell me there is a way to delete all the emails at once.
Thank you – muchisimas gracias.

This ‘Select All’ box appears in only one view.One needs to change the view if it didn’t appear in the current view.

Thank you Andrew – muchas gracias! Now if you could only tell me why gmail suddenly stops images from appearing in mails, I discovered that it ticked (involuntarily on my part) the don’t show images box in options. But the strange thing is that copying say your advice above and pasting it in Word the images didn’t transfer with the text as they used to. Today hwoever they have done – why?
