Select all emails?

[largeselection]

Anyone know how to select all emails in android? I see the option to "deselect all", but I haven't stumbled on a "select all" option.

I think you have to go click the little box on the left hand side(check mark it) one at a time, than you can hit delete. This will then delete all you have selected.

Thanks sooks just informed me of that as well. However it would be easier and quicker and nice if Google enabled multitouch in the base OS apps/programs since we could easily just highlight multiple ones and then select delete

Yea, I know you can click the individual check boxes, but I was just wondering because on the BB tour I can hold down shift and then roll the ball down to select all and then mark as read. For day to day use this shouldn't be so bad, I only recently noticed this because when I set up all my email accounts I had a ton of "unread" emails pop up, so I had to mark them all as read.

maybe you can hold shift on your keyboard and scroll down with the dpad.

That didn't seem to work, but while I was fussing around I did notice that ALT+Up/Down on the dpad jumped to the top/bottom!

don't see anything in the manual for it...i was really hoping the shift + dpad was going to work.

this is a major problem for me. I hope they put it on the fix list

If you change to conversation view you can delete entire threads of email which speeds up time. I wish they had a select all like the BB

Yeah, no "select all" in the email yet sadly.

the "manual" is like 6 pages. Probably the smallest smartphone manual I've ever seen. There is little to no useful info in it.
