Hi all,

Is there any way that I can select all the messages in a mailbox when I am
in basic HTML view? I use a screen reader so using the standard view is
extremely inconvenient.

I need to select all messages in a mailbox primarily because I want to
delete them. For example, I would like the ability to delete all the
messages that I have stored in my sent items folder on Gmail.

Not that I'm aware of, but will provide this one warning that you
might not be aware of.

Remember that any list of messages in GMail is actually a list of
conversations, so when you're in "Sent Mail" you're not looking at all
the messages you've sent, you're looking at all the conversations
you've participated in. This means that if you use "Select All" and
"Delete" you're actually deleting the entire conversations, not just
the messages that YOU sent.

GMail should add a new feature - delete one message, within the attachment.

Sorry, I was doing something else at the same time. Delete one message (Eg this one) within the converastion (Eg, this conversation). That way, I could delete this message, but keep Zack's and Pranav's
