Stock email app question

[Double Tap]

Using the stock email app how can I check all messages to delete them. It seems that I have to check each one individually and this can get very tedious.

That is not a capability of the stock email. If you are interested in trying MailDroid it will allow you to do that and many other features.

On my IMAP account, sometimes I delete messages, and then they reappear later. Does MailDroid avoid that problem?

I only have pop accounts but the "reoccurrence" of and email I believe has something to do with Android in general. I had the reoccurrence happen to me with MailDroid only on my Gmail account and my wife had it happen to her only once on her non gmail account. I solved my wife's problem by deleting the email from the server.

Maildroid gives you the option of deleting from device or from device and server.

With gmail, unless you actually set the trash folder under the inbox --> menu --> account preferences --> delete folder then all mail deleted will remain in the 'all mail' folder, this is a function of gmail. With other IMAP servers, you should also set the delete folder.

The same problem occurs with the stock email app on my iPad. As with the N4, it happens only sometimes and with no apparent pattern.
