Have you used the gmail web interface?
How do you do bulk actions on emails? Clicking a checkbox for every single one? Having to write an run a query for each set of emails you want to operate on in bulk?
Here's how I do it in thunderbird. Sort by sender (or other thing). Click first email. Shift click last email. Do whatever I want (usually archive or move to a folder).
My employer turned off IMAP access a few years ago and I've basically given up managing my github/jira/mailing list spam. Filters turn out to be surprisingly fragile.

This is pretty basic functionality for an email client to have. In GMail (Proton and Yandex too; probably any modern web client) works by clicking the checkbox. Click first email's checkbox. Shift click last email's checkbox.
- Macha 4y agoGreat, speaking of basic functionality, how do I sort? I don't believe gmail supports this.
- aidenn0 4y agoI used the Gmail web interface once in 2005 I think? I didn't include webmail in my assessment, or the office 365 mail client would have "won" this award.
