Delete multiple Outlook emails from the web
Delete all Outlook emails from mobile devices

It's very easy to delete multiple or all emails in Outlook , both from the mobile app and on desktop. In this way we can get rid of those old emails that are no longer useful to give priority to the newest ones..

Remember that, if it is about organization and we do not want to delete some messages, it is also possible to move the emails to a different folder. In this way, we do not need to have to eliminate them.

Likewise, before starting to delete all the emails, we recommend downloading the conversations from Outlook to have a backup copy of the messages. It would not be at all strange that, among so many deleted messages, we end up deleting something that is really important..
