how do I delete 600 spam emails?

A quick question...
I've just looked in my webmail spam folder and there are over 600 spam emails in there. How do I delete them all without having to tick every one them individually?

TIA

1. It may struggle to delete them all in one go; if so go in to Options, Display Preferences and bump up the Number of Messages per Page option to say 200 (find what works by testing).
2. In the spam folder click Toggle All to select all the messages.
Edit: You may also want to select [Do not use trash] under folder preferences, Trash Folder

Also bear in mind that the spam folder will be periodically emptied by PlusNet, so you don't need to concern yourself with deleting e-mails from it yourself - unless you just want to be tidy, of course.
