    My mail app takes up 482 mb that seems like a lot I've deleted the app & reinstalled it. Do you have a different suggestion?

    Yes. Delete some emails you don't need anymore.
    Especially those with attachments in them.

    How many emails and/or attachments are you storing? Mine only uses 10mb, but I am not storing any emails that have attachments.

    Attachments like photos and videos take a lot of space on emails. Delete all you can.

    Hello
    It also depends on your set up. You can choose to store unlimited emails, or emails from 3 months or less (assuming you are using stock mail app), check your settings and try changing that too.

    That purple/pink text is a strain to read on dark theme.

    Find the little crescent moon on the mobile site. In TapaTalk, it should be in the TapaTalk settings.

    Don't use any color, use default color and allow the forums to adjust white background with black text, or black/dark gray background with white text. Much easier for everyone, since everyone's eyes are different. I have progressive presbyopia, and the default colors are best for me to be able to eve see the text at all.

    The interest of dark themes notwithstanding, is there an easier way to delete a mailbox than selecting each individual message? I have the same storage problem. Thanks.

    You can delete them all at once in trash. But on the inbox it's trash each one at a time. Apple offered "trash all" on the inbox for a while, but got many complaints. So they took it away in iOS 10.

    Thanks. Just wanted verify that before going through and do just that. Part of me really wants to upgrade to an iPhone 7, the 16gb on my 6 is such a pain. Appreciate your reply.

    What irks me about it is that the people complaining didn't have to select the trash all option in the inbox.

    You can mark them one at a time, then trash all those marked at once.
