Several folks have asked recently about the ability to delete all email in their inbox or other folder within the mail application without having to tick each one separately then press delete.

DeleteMail is a paid Cydia Store tweak ($0.99) by Andrea Oliva which does exactly that. Simply install, enable the feature in "Settings" (you can turn it off for safety just in case you get click happy in the Mail app!), and you are good to go. Whenever you press the "Edit" button in your mail list you will have a "Delete All" button until you start ticking individual mails in which case it will revert to a "Delete" button and act just as it did before you installed the tweak.

Happy Deleting Everyone!

Absolutely worth the price of admission. Works perfectly and will save hours over the course of a typical week.

This tweak is available for purchase in the Cydia "store," which is a place people with jailbroken iPads can go for, well, tweaks.

If you have a jailbroken iPad, then you will have a Cydia icon on your iPad homescreen, just like you have the App Store icon. It's installed as a result of the jailbreak.

It's only available to those with jailbroken iPads...

You can still bulk archive or delete with a non-jailbroken iPad. You only don't have the "delete all" option. From your email list press edit and then select as many as you want to archive or delete.

I ended up deleting all the emails direct from my server (shaw), thus saving me the tedious process of deleting the emails after being downloaded onto my iPad.
