[MlMt] Multile message deleting, how to do this with justte keyboad?

[Maurice Mines]

Hello, my goal is to delete multiple messages within a box my goal is 
not to entirely delete all the messages in a box. Any thoughts? In other 
words what I’m talking about here is selective deletion but were 
talking probably 1 to 500 messages at a time?

Sincerely Maurice Mines.
