Stock email really this bad?

MyMail. Tried them all and this is my favorite. Incredibly flexible and graphically beautiful.

I do NOT want to click each individual email to get rid of them.

I want to click ONE BUTTON to get rid of ALL OF THE EMAILS for that date.

The closest thing to that, is hold down one of the emails and it will add check boxes next to all of them, then check off the ones you don't want and delete.

I just upgraded from an S3. I am really missing the sort by date and select all check box. I am finding a lot of things I hate about this new S6 edge and its only been one day with the new phone.

I hate to admit this ... but the more I get into my S6 ... the more of a love/hate relationship it's becoming!

The hardware is amazing ... but all this stuff they've done to strip down TW and their default apps is killing me. It's really not a TON of stuff I've found, but all the stuff I'm talking about are things I found VERY useful ... but can no longer do using stop apps like I could before. Here's a partial list of things that I have found that are now gone, that existed on my S4 even up through the lollipop update:

1. Stock email app: no longer has the nice little quick-icon bar at the bottom for replying, syncing, deleting, read/unread, etc.
2. Stock email app: no longer as the sort by date
3. Stock email app: no longer has the "select all" option
4. Stock Messaging App: you can no longer set different vibration patterns for different contacts for text messaging (this also applies to groups)
5. Stock Messaging App: you can no longer set different notification sounds for different contacts for text messaging (this also applies to groups)
6. Widgets: one-touch call and/or text widgets are now gone from the stock widget selection
7. Widgets: can't add widgets to the lock screen anymore - not stock widgets or third party / custom widgets

I totally respect Samsung's decision to slim things down and make the phone more streamlined ... but man, getting rid of these "little things" seems like a huge step backwards. These are NOT things that were "bloating" the system ... Conversely, these were very useful things that made using this device more efficient ...

After looking for a new mail app I have settled on K9. Not exactly the same as the old stock app, but has most of the features and doesn't cost anything.
