Select all emails and perform bulk actions
It’s taking me 30 mins a day to delete 100-200 emails this is time consuming and damn right idiotic that the feature isn’t here already
To vote for 'select all' from search results, vote here: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483/suggestions/46566259

Hey everyone,
Cleaning up your inbox just got easier – you can now label, move, delete, or mark as read all emails in a folder (including your main Inbox) at once on the Proton Mail web app.
To get started, select all messages on a page. You'll see the option to select all messages in the location (e.g. Inbox) you're in. Then, simply apply actions in bulk, making it easier to manage your inbox.
Thank you for your feedback!

Already exists : go to trash, click more, then empty trash.

dude, Ivan, this request is not unusual and is sorely missed. most other ESP's have this. Can you please include it? Would be nice for a paid service to have feature parity with free ones, no?

This would make email so much easier to manage. For example I usually only get 2 or 3 REAL emails during a day sometimes only as many as 10 in a week. Yet my inbox has thousands in it currently and I get hundreds of emails per damn from telemarketers.

I want a feature that allows you to delete all email in your inbox instead of just 50 at a time

Please enable bulk selection of emails matching a search criteria, label criteria, etc. as is possible in Gmail. Limiting the actions which can be taken to 50 emails at a time (maximum number per page) can be very limiting if you're trying to update labels on a large group of messages at once.

Hi,
I don't see an option for selecting all mails (in inbox, sent or labeled mails). I think it would be more convenient for us in some occasions like cleaning up inbox, mark as read, etc.

The response to this viable request is not correct. You can select all the mail of the page. Not the complete load of email you have in the folder. Once again we have someone who thinks that he knows but he does not...

This is perhaps the biggest reason I'm reluctant to pay for the service. If you're going to impose storage limits, I need good maintenance tools, and triply so if you want me to pay for your service.

I keep getting the notification that i'm running out of space, but I'm only able to delete 50 messages at a time from my inbox. I would rather not spend a good 10-20 minutes trying to delete all my 4000+ emails, 50 at a time and rather just have the same option as the trash folder has, which is to empty the ENTIRE folder.

Hot key sequences make this less painful. Select "Inbox". Then enter * a, this selects all 50 visible messages. Now press t, which moves all selected mails to Trash. This goes very quickly, even for thousands of emails. Once all of your garbage is in the Trash can, select your Trash Folder, then Click the More drop down menu, and select Empty Trash. I cleaned up 3000+ messages in a few minutes with this process. Less error prone than using the mouse and web GUI.

I can delete all emails from my Trash folder. Please add to the Inbox "More" drop down "Move all to trash". Moving emails from Inbox->Trash in batches of 50 is tedious and a waste of time. Another option is increase the Inbox view size from 50 to something larger, like 500, or 1000.

I miss this feature a lot, coming from Gmail.

When deleting after a search, I have to go page by page which can take waaaayy too much time. I'd like to delete everything all at once rather than delete items page by page. Frustrating.

An option to select multiple emails to be moved into the trash or into a specific folder would be great.

ooops, I just found that I can empty trash, so apologies to Proton Mail.
Once clicked on trash - click 'More' it's there, not really clear, but there.

have a reasonable 'HELP" section.
I have reached MAX Storage but cannot empty trash or delete.
Not good and this really, really puts me off a paid subscription.

It really is time consuming to delete messages one at at a time. You can do it with trash and it’s great. So how about it?

There is none. It's incredibly annoying, use a better email service.
