Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I can't select all items in a folder/mailbox to apply the same action to them, typîcally move or delete.
Describe the solution you'd like
After selecting one element in the messages list, the "Actions on selection" 3-dot menu at the top could benefit from a "Select all" entry, so you can then apply any action on all the emails you have.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There no keybaord shortcut to enable selection like the "S" does for starring.
Additional context
It'a quick win for multiple mails handling. #7276 has more in-depth desires which would be handy.
