Hi,

i have over 3 GBs of messages that I'd like to delete. I started going to through them individually and deleting but they seemed to restore. I was doing some research and came across iBackup bot. I do not want to use some third party company on my phone though. Does anyone have suggestions?

What mail service are you using? iCloud? Gmail? You should not have 3 GB of mail on your phone if it is an IMAP service unless you get a ton of large attachments that you've downloaded.
