Why does the Mail app on IOS/iPadOS have “Select All”->”Mark”->”Flag” still? I have accidentally flagged all of my thousands of emails multiple times when trying to mark all as read. The worst part isn’t trying to unflag them (still really sucks to do). The worst part is that the only way to unflag them all is to unflag ALL of them including the ones that you wanted flagged making it completely pointless to even use flags in the first place (since you’ll lose them all accidentally). Not to mention the fact that it is the option that comes up in the same place as the “Mark” button so you have to click “Mark” then move to a different spot to click “Mark All as Read” (I’m on iPad with Magic Keyboard I just want to be able to click mark then click in the same spot to mark all as read). I cannot imagine a single scenario where flagging all emails at once would ever be useful. Please fix this Apple. Please for the love of all that is holy fix this or at the very least add a “Select All” to the “Unread” filter screen or add a “Are you sure you want to flag all?” or something. Whoever thought that marking all as read was lower on the order of importance for this popup menu should be fired.
Also while I’m at it, why does the iPad Mail app make you click a three dots menu to get to select? On iPhone Select is right there, easy to get to.
