Mark all emails read

Can there be a Mark All Read button on the emails page?

Considering that the unread state of a given message is global for all users, this strikes me very much as a Bad Idea. Currently, at least someone has to somewhat actively process each message — even if it's just skimming the metadata — which ensures nothing important is missed.

That said, checkboxes to mark/unmark a specific set of selected messages en masse could be quite useful, though.

I would agree if this was our primary inbox, however, all of exec uses the gmail inbox as our primary source of mail. Honestly we could probably just get rid of read/unread on emails but let's leave it for now.

+1 for checkboxes, with a "select all" button :)

but also yeah, gmail inbox is definitely where all the reading/data-digesting happens

I'm not going to mark all 750 emails on tracker as read individually, there should be a mark all emails as read button.
