How can I delete entire inbox?

[egb88]

Hi,
Is there a way to empty and/or delete the total inbox folder? The
account has so much spam and don't want to delete 1000 spam messages
one by one.
Thanks for any help!

Mark your inbox folder, press STRG+A (to mark all messages in it) on
your keyboard and then DEL.
