> That's the way I've been doing it: edit, select a bunch and delete; but sure takes a long time if you've got a thousand. Once these messages are read are they automatically removed after a month? A year? Seems to me there should be that option in the prefs>settings,
iOS 10 will have filters for Mail, so you can select many by some criterion, then deleter those. Whether or not they will let you use the criterion you might want to choose by is another issue.
Your description above makes it sound like you do no filtering, but leave all of your mail in one central Inbox.
Before I even get to look at mine, a set of filters has moved the iPad forum mails to one folder, the iPhone forum mails to another, the Apple Watch forum mails to another, and so forth (for about 27 distinct inbox subfolders).
So when I go to the iPad folder, I see only the messages that originated in this forum, which I can deleter or not as I read them. I only rarely need to go through and mass-archive what remains, or a subset of it.
