Apple removed the “Trash All” option in iOS 10 for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. Even with this feature, however, it wasn’t good enough. We’d like to see “Trash All” come back in iOS 11, but we want more than just that.

When you’re trying to tidy of your mailbox, getting rid of emails from specific companies like Groupon or LivingSocial that pile up in your inbox, it would be nice if you could search for “Groupon” or “LivingSocial” and just “Trash All” them. Or, even just “Mark All” so you can “Trash” them.

As of right now, as you can see from this painfully long video, it takes over 5 minutes to delete 450 emails from Groupon. That’s insane. Apple, give us better options! It can’t be that hard. It would take mere seconds to do this with the right option.

There was a bug in some versions of iOS 10 that lets you “Trash All” in certain folders, but c’mon, Apple, we can’t rely on bugs, and we want more options!

What do you think? Would you like to see more features in Mail to stay organized? Sound off.
