Apply actions (apply label, delete, archive) to all results
I imported a lot of mails from gmail and I would like to do some merging and reorganizing of labels.
But for this, I would need the ability to do actions (apply label, delete, archive, move to folder, etc) on all the result of a search.
Since the main criteria I would need is existing labels, I can't seem to use Sieve filter for this, so I would like to be apply to select a label or any other search and apply labels on all the results rather than page by page currently.

My scenario is different, but seems to be the same ask. When I check several email in the inbox, then apply a label, or select to move to a folder, I can check the box to have this done for future things as well (creating a filter for new emails coming in), and if I edit the filter I have the option apply the rule to all existing email. But I want to apply the rule to all existing email the first time I chose to apply the label or move these email, and I want it to happen for the whole inbox, and across other folders/labels, not just a few that I have checked, or whatever it's currently limited to. Cleaning up my inbox and making rules to keep it better organized going forward would be much easier.
Would also be great when I check several email in the inbox, if I could filter the search results for just things matching that selection, and let me edit the filter details until I get everything I'm looking for, then let me apply the tag or move them, etc., and do it for everything so I don't have to edit the filter to have that option.

When my search on e-mails returns more hits than fits on a page, I need to repeat the action for every page. This makes it quit bothersome to split e-mail folders later on, after you have received many messages and realize you want the e-mails to be split up by some search criteria.
