Automatically deselect emails after a bulk action
When selecting multiple emails and performing a bulk action—such as marking them as read or moving them to a folder—the current selection is not cleared after the action. This can be confusing and counterintuitive, especially for users coming from other mail clients, where the standard UX is to automatically deselect the processed emails. Please implement an option (or default behavior) to automatically clear the selection after any bulk operation is completed. This would greatly improve the user experience and reduce the risk of accidental repeated actions.

I partly agree with this request.
Instead, I think it would be better if there is a 'Deselect' or 'Select None' option in the message selection options. The reason for this is that the current selection of messages may be marked as read and you then might want to add a label to all these messages. If they are automatically deselected, then you have to go through the process of selecting them again. But with the manual option, it would allow you to make as many bulk actions as you like and deselect the messages when you are done.
