How can I delete all emails at a time?

How can I delete all emails at a time?

[Water Lin]

I know I can delete emails one by one by B Del.

I also know that I can delete emails at one time by mark them by # and
then use B Del.

But It is still a dirty way. I need to mark emails one by one.

Is there any way I can delete all emails in my mailbox without using
mark command # ?

or is there any way I can mark all emails at one time? like using # one
by one......

Thanks

How about `C-u G DEL' in the group buffer?

That kills the group too.

On a group by group basis
C-u 10000
B DEL
yes

You can use M P a to select all articles, then B DEL to delete the
articles selected.

"
M P a runs the command gnus-uu-mark-all
  which is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `gnus-uu'.
It is bound to M P a, <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Process Mark> <Mark all>.
[Arg list not available until function definition is loaded.]

Depending upon how you are configured, you may not be able to delete _all_
the articles; only "all minus 1" if you don't permit deletion of the last
article in the group

I think this way is OK for me. I will use this way.
