I find myself often deleting a large series of emails from a rather noisy mailing list, while retaining some messages previously received. Since Gmail’s selection buttons are limited to All, None, Read, Unread, Starred, and Unstarred, I’m forced to press the ‘x’ key, or click a check box for every email in the series.
There is a better way. Select the first message in the series and then hold the Shift key while clicking the check box next to the last message. This combination selects all messages between the first and last.
Although this is a standard UI behavior, I have been unable to locate any documentation that mentions this method of selecting messages is available. I wish that Shift + x worked the same way.
I have no clue about these blog sites. I sent you a note on another posting.
Do I know your family? Do you have a brother named Jeff?
