If you’re not an inbox zero type – and I’m definitely not – you can sometimes rely on Gmail’s “select all conversations that match this search” option to read, archive or delete hundreds or thousands of messages at once. To lay.
Except we can’t do that anymore, and we can’t even find the Gmail users we’ve won. The option has gone up and disappeared.
mailgmail Hey, now how come the “select all conversations” option to mark thousands read at once?
I’m typing “is: unread” + + “all” check b select selects, but instead of “select all conversations” at the top of my screen, it says “no results found” …? pic.twitter.com/dercwGE5OE

Surprisingly removed from the “Select all conversations with this conversation” option mailgmail. What on earth do they think ??? Actions can now only be performed on a maximum of # messages per page. Crazy! Please fix ASAP Google

Instead, we see a nav bar with a handful of shortcut buttons when we search:
Google hasn’t responded to our requests for comment, so we can’t yet confirm whether we’re looking for a new feature for Gmail, a new UI overall, a quick experiment, or maybe a bug. A Gmail help thread from six days ago is still unanswered.
It looks like Google’s own Gmail support team was unaware of the change; On at least two occasions, They are giving instructions to the readers That works longer.
Learned. Let’s try these steps to mark all emails read in Gmail: Go to https://t.co/bXXJf3dEH5 on your computer> Search for messages> Select all> Select all conversations that match this search> Mark as read . Keep us posted.

It doesn’t help at all, as not all the selected conversation options appear. As my initial tweet suggests, I’ve done this before. I am unable now.

For now, if you want to read, archive or delete more than a page’s worth of conversations at a time, you may need to use filters instead, “Also apply filters to matching conversations” Click the button, and then delete the filter after fact.
I tried it with some newsletters, and it still seems to work. It’s just a problem.
