If you hold shift, than you can select multiple emails. All you have to do then, is press delete

Two options for Deleting multiple mail messages:

1. The video below shows how to delete a single mail message. To delete multiple mail message you would do the same thing except to delete several mail messages that are in chronological order you would select the top message...press and hold shift....and scroll down to the last message you want to delete and click on that message which will highlight all messages in between the firs and last message you selected. Release the Shift Key. And Delete.

2. To delete multiple messages that aren't in chronological order click on the first message you want to delete. The press and hold the Option Key (Windows Key if you have 3rd Party Keyboard) and select each message you want to delete and it will highlight all those messages individually. After you select all messages you want to delete let go of the Option Key and click on the Delete icon in the mail menu bar.

Important:
This places the deleted emails in your Trash folder within mail. To permanently delete the messages...Right Click on the Trash Icon or hold down Control and then Click on the Trash Icon and select Erase Deleted Items from the drop down menu and they will be permanently deleted and won't take up space on your hard drive.

Two ways:
1. hold the command button and select the emails you want to delete. Then hit the delete button or right-click on one of the mails and select 'Delete'.

2. select the first eMail and hold the shift button and select the last eMail you wish to delete. The whole block should now be selected.
Then hit the delete button or right-click on one of the mails and select 'Delete'.

Good luck

Click the first email to delete and then Shift-Click the last one. The emails between the first and last one clicked on will be selected.
If you are not selecting a continuous range of emails then try clicking with the Command Key or maybe the Control Key, I forget which one it is.
