Selecting ALL Emails in Inbox View

Hi,

I've got 2500 emails in my webmail inbox.  I want to select them all, and move to a 'saved' folder, but seems I can only select the emails that show without scrolling down.  I know I used to be able to select ALL emails in the inbox, not just those that are showing.  How do I do this?

Figured it out.  Select (check the box) first email in list, then keep scrolling down to the end of all the emails.  This may take a while.  Once at the end of the email list, hold down the shift key while selecting (checking the box) the last email on the list.  All emails in the inbox will now be selected.

The only way I know to do it is once you've selected ALL scroll down and hold down the shift key and then select ALL again.  That keeps your previous selections highlighted and then you have the new selections.  You'll need to keep doing this, however, until you get all 2500 selected.

Or:

  1. Scroll to the last message in the folder
  2. Click "All" / "Select all messages"
