Bulk deletions of emails saves you time and quickly frees up space in your mail program. Your Mac operating system comes with Mail, the Mac email client. An email client allows you to grab email from other email accounts you might have on the Web, such as that attached to a personal website, and consolidate the emails in one program. Sometimes, you might need to get rid of a bunch of emails all at once, whether they are related to a particular topic or from the same sender. You can do a search and delete them, or pick through your old emails individually, and delete them in bulk.
