Ability to select all or multiple from search results
It would be nice to be able to select multiple emails from the search results for processing, say moving to a folder.

This is critical for me. It's annoying that this is only available in the Web UI. We're in a mobile first world. The user experience should be the same throughout

I know this is keeping a lot of people from even considering ProtonMail. Especially since there is only 5GB for mail, means people need an easy way to download and delete their 5GB of mail periodically if they don't have enough money to shell out for a premium plan.

Having migrated from GMail, I'm now fighting the UI of Proton Mail to clear the inbox... I don't want to remove all messages, only those I specifically search for. GMail can do it; please do imitate them in this regard.

This function is critical after importing from another account: it's necessary to use the search function and then apply some action (e.g., tag with a label) to all the mails in the search results, not just the first page. This is a major inconvenience and a turn-off for a paying customer.

This is a critical function for me that is missing from Gmail. When cleaning out email, I will often search (for example: "Reddit") in order to select and delete all the emails from a certain sender. With Proton currently, I would need to go into each email in search individually to delete.

As far as I can see, selecting all messages (meaning *ALL*, not just the ones in the currently displayed page) is possible for folders and labels but not for search results.
I think having this possibility, both in the Web UI and in the desktop apps, is of paramount importance.
I know we can build and use filters to perform such kind of bulk actions, but anyway it would be very useful to have this interactive feature.

It is unfathomable that we need to ask for such a basic feature. I have been a paying customer from day one and I am ******. Just like many people, I made the mistake of importing my emails from Google. Boy, do I regret it! I have more than 10,000 emails, and more than 300 pages to delete. Imagine having to go painstakingly through 50 emails at a time. Unforgivable

Look. I made the mistake of importing my gmail account and all the **** that I had forgotten came along. I now have 6600 emails that I need to get rid of. No way I can do that manually.

WebUI has this PARTIALLY covered... I can "select all" - which means ALL e-mails on ONE Page...
IF I want to select all of the "unread" or "search-result" E-mails, and I mean ALL of them to do bulk actions, I need to do this Page by Page - which is frustratingly slow.and the iOS App doesn't have it at all...

This is so important. I like to clean up email while waiting places, e.g. doctor's office, etc. I cannot clear out my email box from my phone. I have to go to my desktop to clean things up. I am on Android.

I need this to trash a lot of email and reduce my storage usage

Very much needed on Android app

I'm interested in this feature on ProtonMail phone app too, and it should allow to select emails based on provided pattern. Then, we can apply a certain action on them, e.g. move or delete selected emails.

Not sure what platform this has been submitted for, but I would REALLY appreciate this option on the mobile android app.

Web UI has it, but I was recently in need of this feature in the iOS app as well.

When searching, allow multiple selection and add a select all.
Then allow deleting and moving the selected emails. -

Has this been implemented?

This would be useful for moving, starring, labeling, and deleting many messages that meet certain criteria instead of one message at a time.
