In Lotus Notes, I could drag my cursor down the left side to check
everything
I want deleted, hit 'delete' and they all deleted at once. I tried that
with
Outlook, but it doesn't work that way. Is there some easy way of doing it
other than having to go one by one to delete?

As Mr. Blessing pointed out you can use normal 'Shift-Select' methods in
various combinations to select and delete messages in bulk. These methods
are the same as managing 'files' in Explorer.
For example:
Click on first email then Shift+End will select all. Then press delete
key or right+click to open the contex menu and select delete.
You can also select all emails in a folder by clicking on the Folder and
then press Ctrl+A.

Clicking on headers to sort columns makes it easy to group emails for buld
deletes.

Or you can simply hold down the Shift key and move the mouse to the last
email. To select all in between.

Holding the Ctrl key and selecting items will select emails separately but
included in the same selection.

and so on
