Hi,
Is there a way to empty and/or delete the total inbox folder? The
account has so much spam and don't want to delete 1000 spam messages
one by one.
Thanks for any help!
 
Select first email, hold down shift, use down arrow to select all messages, presss delete.

Click to expand...

Mark your inbox folder, press STRG+A (to mark all messages in it) on
your keyboard and then DEL.
