It's pretty similar on console.
On PS4, I'm pretty sure I can hit x + down a bunch of times to collect items, and then square + x a bunch of times to delete everything. If I don't actually want to read the mail, or selectively keep any messages, the process is really fast (there's essentially zero lag between steps).
Thinking about it now, I could probably also do x + square + x a bunch of times, but I've never tried it that way.
If you are on PC you can use Postmaster Mail addon. It will give you a "Take All" option in mail window to take all your mail attachments and delete the mails for you. The types of mail this option will affect can be adjusted as you want in the addon's settings.
I receive like 60 hireling mails per day so this addon saves a ton of time and boredom for me. I just open the mail window and press one button.
Funner Trivia: This isn't true. I thought that was the case for a long time, but I decided to test it one day where I was going to be away soon and didn't mind messing up the order on them. At least up to 90(5*18char) this isn't true, they still pop hidden under the extra messages AND they keep their timestamp from when they pop hidden. On the 18th character I had the 72 max showing, cleaned them up, and the remaining 18 all popped together with the time stamp of when I opened the mail window on the previous characters.starkerealm wrote: »Fun trivia: If you get over 72 Hireling mails in a single day... (or backed up in your mail for some reason) the game will not deliver the remaining mails until you clear your mailbox.
