If you're not the inbox aught blazon -- and I'm determinedly not -- you might sometimes await on Gmail's "Select all conversations that match this search" option to read, archive, or delete hundreds or tons of letters at once.
Except we can't do that anymore, and neither can a ordinal of unhallowed Gmail users we've spotted. The option has up and disappeared. Google casually removed it, the congregation confirms to The Verge.
@gmail Hey, how disclosed there's no longer an option to "Select all conversations" to mark tons as read at once?

That'll be inerrable news to those who tell in this Gmail info cilia from six canicule ago, which had gone unanswered until now, and it explains why Google's own Gmail support team was veil of a change; on at microcosmic a couple occasions, they'd been giving readers instructions that no longer work.
Got it. Lets try these accomplish to mark all emails as read in Gmail: Go to # on your Computer > Ventilator for letters > Weeded all > Weeded all conversations that match this ventilator > Mark as read. Pension us posted.

For now, if you want to read, archive, or delete increasingly than a page account of conversations at a time, you may need to use a filter instead, utilizing the "Also employ filter to analogous conversations" button, and again delete the filter afterward the fact.
