Delete emails from iPad

Delete emails from iPad

Delete emails you no longer need from iPad.


It is not necessary to save all read emails. Just throw away e-mails that you definitely don’t use anymore. That saves space.

An open email has an icon of a trash can at the top right. Tap that and the message will disappear immediately.

  • Rotate the iPad so that it is placed in landscape orientation.
  • On the left are all e-mails in the mailbox ‘Incoming’. If you are not in this mailbox, tap at the top left PO Boxes > Incoming.
  • Swipe from right to left on a message you want to delete.
  • A red ‘Trash’ or ‘To Trash’ button will appear. Continue swiping and the message will be deleted immediately.
  • Rotate the iPad so that it is placed in landscape orientation.
  • Tap at the top left PO Boxes or Previous.
  • Tap on trash can.
  • Tap on Change.
  • Tap at the top left Select all.
  • Tap at the bottom Delete.
  • Tap on Delete all.

The Trash is now empty.
