After all these years, Gmail for Android gets a feature it needed from day one

TLDR: a select all button

Now maybe I can finally select and delete all 200,000+ unread notifications
Mark as Read in the notification panel. How the hell is that still not an option? I've been asking for this over a decade since quick reply options became a thing (jellybean?). Options are still only Archive or Delete.
- I don't even get delete. Just archive running pixel 8
  
  Inside Settings in Gmail you should be able to swap it, but you can only have one of them at a time. Another genius decision.
U wot? No! I want to be able to create and manage labels, not select all FFS.
- Just a few more years, like 10....maybe 15, 20 tops.
  
  what about using google contacts directly from the app?
It still lags in productivity compared to a desktop app. For how much time we spend in email, I am surprised Outlook and Thunderbird still feel like they were built 20 years ago. Email clients get no love.
- You have not used Thunderbird in a long time I guess. It has changed its UI a lot
  
  I'm excited for the upcoming Thunderbird/K9 Mail release for android.
  
  The major changes I saw are only like 3 months old... And they aren't necessarily good changes. Having said that I still like thunderbird a lot.
Deleting all that garbage was satisfying.
THE SAME SIGNATURE I HAVE ON DESKTOP?
K-9 FTW!
