And using CTRL+Delete (CTRL+Y if using confirmations) is quicker since it bypasses saving the deleted messages.  ;-)

I'm a little wary of such drastic measures :-) I prefer to use the Deleted messages folder (which I've set to persist between sessions) as a safety net. Attached to this folder, though, is a folder-close mail filtering rule that deletes all messages that are older than one day. Pmail's mail filtering rules rule!

Is there any way to perform a mass deletion of emails from my New Mail Folder?

There are different ways, depending on what you wish to do.

1. Selecting all messages by hitting Ctrl+A and then delete will delete all messages in the new mail folder or any folder for that matter.
   
2. You can have all messages automatically deleted on closing the new mail folder by configuring a mail filtering rule that always triggers.

But as I said, there are more options.

You can also go to the new mail directory and delete all of the *.cnm files.
