    Select all the emails (Ctrl-A). Then while holding down the Ctrl key, click again on the emails you want to save. This should "un-highlight" them. Once you have un-highlighted the ones you want to save, you can press Delete, and the rest should go away.

    Another way would be to go to the first one you want to delete, click it. Then scroll down to the bottom of the mailbox. While holding down the Shift key, click on the last email. Press Delete.
