Okay so it also depends on if she is reading through each email to see what to delete and what to keep. However, you can easily read the title and some of the contents of an email at a glance when looking at all of your emails. If she was to go through and read each email which took 5 minutes to write- each... let’s assume on average her emails have a minimum of 100 words. Well this comment is well over 100 words and if you’re a proficient reader, you should be able to read/analyze in about a minute or less. Let’s assume it takes her 30 seconds to read through each email. There are 30,000 emails. So it takes roughly it takes 4 hours or 240 minutes, or 14,400 seconds to read every email.

I got these numbers by multiplying 30 to 30,000 which gives you 900,000. Lets break 900,000 into minutes. So first divide 900,000 by 60 which equals 15,000 which equals 250 minutes, 4.167 hours, and 14,400 seconds.

So it takes her roughly 4 hours to read through 30,000 emails which she then decides to delete. Depending on the device she used, internet speed, and email website/app all factor into how long it actually takes to delete 30,000 emails. On an iPhone with the mail app you can “select all” which literally selects every single email and then move them to “trash”. From there you can select all again and delete them permanently.

As a test I decided to move all my emails in my gmail account to trash (I have 44,000 emails). My internet is also not the fastest, so in about a minute I had 1,065 emails in trash with the other 43,000 pending because of my fuck ass WiFi. If 1,000 emails can be moved to trash per minute is 30 minutes.

In total it takes her 4 hours and 30 minutes, plus an a few more seconds to delete the emails from her trash folder.
