Google accidentally deleted this fan-favorite Gmail feature
The select all conversations that match this search feature traditionally allows Gmail users to select a collection of associated emails, which can then be archived, categorized, deleted or marked as read.
However, users that rely on the feature to manage their chaotic inboxes will be dismayed to find it has vanished mysteriously from the Gmail interface.
It transpires that Google did not intend to remove the Gmail feature, which was presumably meddled with by mistake during an upgrade or maintenance procedure.
While Google works to reinstate the feature, Gmail users hoping to clean up their inboxes can take advantage of a workaround that exploits the email filtering system; its a little more finicky, but will do in an emergency.
