One of the great timesavers for me using Unread Folders was the ability to flip through the folders quickly, scanning the subject lines for things of interest.

After finishing, I would select all the folders with remaining, unread messages, and mark them as read.

The new version has removed that capability. Only one folder can be selected at a time.

Marking the contents of 30 or 40 folders takes a ridiculously long time, as each must be selected individually.

Please bring back the ability to select multiple folders in Unread Folders view so that multiple folders can be marked as read at one time

I Agree, bring back this valuable feature!!!

There may be a technical issue that forced its removal in order to push the latest update out, or a conflict, but us regular, non-coding users have no clue what's going on behind the curtain, so ro me, removing this feature is crazy.

My high praise to all of the developers, but please return this huge, timesaving feature…  AM

This is essential feature.
It's crazy that moving/copying folders one by one if there're dozens.

Agree, please bring back the "old feature".
Please no more downgrades in future version for basic functionality.

Thanks in advance.

Even a simple "Mark folder as read" action becomes tedious if you can't apply it to multiple folders...

Greetings.   

Thank you for voting.  This is in development for version 128 to come out in July.

The work is being done in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1817605

Upvote! Bring back the option to select multiple folders at once. Why in the world would you want to remove valuable time saving features and derogate the application. Sometimes, it's hard to appreciate the updates. Many times...

I used to search for and delete duplicate messages across different folders until Thunderbird decided to kill the select multiple folders feature. This decision has broken/limited the functionality of the powerful "Remove Duplicate Messages" extension. Can't wait for the feature to be restored.

This is planned for version 128 this summer. We look forward to providing this.
