Is there a way to delete multiple or all messages at a time?

Unfortunately, at this point, there isn't.

For the time being, you're left with one of two options, each which delete only one message at a time:

1) tap the EDIT button then use the minus+confirm DELETE
2) swipe your finger across the subject/teaser of the message you want to erase and confirm DELETE

Hopefully a multiple delete or delete all feature is coming in a firmware update to the iPhone.

You can if you configure your account as an IMAP account then on your PC mark all messages as read or delete them all. I wrote an article on how to do this. This work for all Gmail Accounts, Google Apps for your domain, etc..

Of course you can do it from your PC, but not FROM the iPhone.
