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

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.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. Will choose a less eye straining color :)

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.

I wonder how bad my storage is I have 172,730 unread emails! LOL Now to be fair I have another device with the BlackBerry Hub on it that I use to manage my emails so it's really not an issues. Guess it's good I went for the 128GB model! lol

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.
