✅ Why Use Multi-Select in Mailbird?

The ability to select multiple emails at once is essential for managing your inbox efficiently. With Mailbird’s multi-select feature, you can quickly perform bulk actions, saving time and streamlining your email workflow.

🛠️ What Can You Do with Multi-Select?

Here are some of the actions you can take on multiple emails simultaneously:

  • Archive multiple emails

  • Delete multiple emails

  • Apply labels to multiple emails

  • Star multiple emails

  • Mark multiple emails as Important

  • Move emails to a folder

  • Mark emails as Spam

  • Mark emails as Read or Unread

⚠️ Note: Multi-select does not work for replying to or forwarding multiple emails.

⌨️ How to Use Multi-Select in Mailbird

There are three simple ways to select multiple emails:

  1. Ctrl + Left Click: Select specific emails one by one.

  2. Shift + Left Click: Select a range of consecutive emails.

  3. Ctrl + A: Select all emails in the current list.

Once your emails are selected, you can either:

  • Right-click on any selected email to bring up the action menu.

  • Use various keyboard shortcuts to apply actions quickly, as shown in the examples below.
