Description

Feature Request

Provide an option to select all mail in the current folder.

Summary

Currently, it is possible to select multiple messages one-by-one. Most e-mail clients have an option to select all e-mail e.g. for (re-)moving them. Please add this option to Nextcloud / Mail as well.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Mail app currently selects messages one by one in the current folder. The work is done when users have an option to select all mail in that folder and can use that selection for actions such as moving or removing messages.
