Delete all messages in trash folder
« on: January 09, 2026, 11:15:23 pm »
Hello, does anyone face an issue to delete all messages when click delete button after selected all messages?
Seems that when you click Selleck All in menu bar or menu bottom bar, ir only Selleck shown messages on screen.

İt means that button doesn't work as default or is this default behaviour?

Reproduce:
Go to trash folder
Sellect all message

Scroll screen and you will ses following emails are not choose....

Maybe it or normal but I think when you click it, it should choose all emails.

Hi, This is the default behavior of Aqua Mail. By default, the "Select All" function only selects the messages visible on the screen, not all of them in the folder. This is because the app loads messages gradually to save memory—scrolling loads more.

Change settings:
Go to Settings > Mail list view (or "Message list view"). There you can change "Select All" from "visible messages" to "loaded messages" to select more (loaded) messages.

To load more of all emails or synchronize the folder completely.

"Loaded" depends on the cache: Settings > Accounts > Folders & Options > Increase message caching (e.g., 1000).

After editing: Refresh the folder and scroll down to the end to load more
