You can do a couple of things:
1 - Highlight a date, and click the wheel/ball and select delete prior

2-Hold down the shift key (the same key that allows you to enter a capital letter) and scroll the wheel/ball to select multiple e-mails

How do i delete multiple messages at one time?

I assume the multiple messages you refer to are email messages.
If so, you can delete multiple messages as follows:
1. For messages listed one above the other in a row, use you mouse to select the first message so that is is highlighted. Then hold down your shift key and select the last message in your continuous list of messages. All the messages from the first to the last should now be highlighted (i.e., selected). While in this mode with the messages highlighted, press the delete key on your keyboard, or alternately, use your mouse and select the delete icon at the top of the email screen (it looks like a trash can).
You can also just drag the selected emails while holding the shift key down into your system trash.
2. For multiple messages that are not in a continuous list, while holding down the option key, use your mouse to highlight each message by clicking on it. When all the messages you wish to delete are selected, as above, press the delete key on your keyboard or use you mouse to select the delete button at the top of the email screen.

These instructions are for when you are using the apple mail program. It will likely work with other mail programs.

How to Delete all email on iPad 2, iOS7

Want to delete more than a single email message? You can easily delete multiple email messages from the iPad by using the Mail's edit feature. The button on the top right side of the inbox is the edit button. Touching this button will put your inbox into edit mode.
Once your inbox is in edit mode, you can select multiple messages by touching each message you want to delete. You then have the option to either delete them by pressing the delete button at the bottom of the screen or moving them to a specific folder by touching the move button.

To delete multiple emails at once you can select a range by clicking on the checkbox next to the first message, hold Shift, and then select the checkbox next to the last message you want to delete.

After selecting the desired range, simply click the Delete button. The selected messages will be deleted.
