How do I delete more than 1 message at a time?

more options

I am trying to delete more than 2,000 emails. I have been having problems with emails reappearing once I delete them. Charter Communications my server has advised me to change the setting to 'remove email immediately". How do I select a large number of emails to delete at one time?

Standard computer selection methods.

Control+a = select all

Click message one to select it, move up or down several messages and hold the shift key while clicking message two = selects message 1 and 2 and all in between

Hold the control key while clicking random messages = select any message clicked on

Hold the control key while clicking a selected message = deselect that message

I do not advise trying to delete all 2000 messages at once. Select blocks of 100 or so and delete them.

Be sure to compact the folders after all the deletions to complete the process.
