Hi and welcome to the Forum!

The easiest way to empty your trash in email is in landscape mode, on the left hand column at the top you will see Edit press this and the column will shift to the right, go down the column pressing on the emails to delete, once you have them all selected, press delete which is at the bottom. It's simple and this is the fastest way to empty the trash. You can also go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, calendars -select your mail account, it will load with a small window. Select Advanced at the bottom and then you will see the option to Remove Deleted Messages, set this how you like. Hope this helps you.

This is the most time consuming activity that the iPad has next to reading an iBook publication. Why can't they add a feature as delete all emails before a certain date. I now have 6000 emails that I have to individually remove.
