     First, go into setup/config and make sure that "enable agrigate 
command set" is on.  Once that's done, you can delete messages by several 
categories.  To delete all of them at once, press ";" to begin 
selecting.  Next, press "a" to select all of them.  Finally, press "a" 
again to apply a command to the selected messages and "d" to delete them 
all.  You are prompted every step of the way so it shouldn't be that hard.

In the configuration screen there is an option called 
enable-aggregate-command-set  this allows you to use the ';' command 
which selects by the messages number, date, text, status, or all.  Then 
you can apply the A command which is Apply. Here you can apply the 
commands Delete, Undelete, Reply, Forward, Print, take address, 
save, export,(bounce, flag, pipe if you have this setup as well)to the 
messages that you have selected.

Hope this helps!
