"Mark All as Unread" doesn't prompt for confirmation

"Mark All as Unread" doesn't prompt for confirmation... This is the second time that I accidentally clicked it. Highly annoying.

PLEASE FIX. Thank you

I can't find this command "Mark All as Unread".

Press a long time on a folder name with unread messages

Yes, this is the command "Mark all read". However, the command mentioned by the OP ("Mark All as Unread") doesn't exist.

There is an icon on the floating bar that marks all selected messages unread. And it is easy to "fat finger " it. And it has no confirmation.

Um, yes, that is there. Also icons to mark with stars / clear stars.

Those are not destructive operations, I don't feel they warrant the extra "nuisance" of a confirmation.

PS - "mark all read" in a folder has a confirmation, it is "destructive" -- you won't know what messages you've read and which ones you haven't, and may miss something important.

I understand the logic, but I disagree with the last argument that "mark all read" is destructive, while "mark all unread" is not. They are either both destructive, or both non-destructive.
Obviously, after marking all read, one can mark all unread, but if the first one was destructive, the second one (making all "unread") will not "cure" it.

There is *no* "mark all unread".

There is a way to select a bunch of messages, maybe even "all of them" (whatever that may mean, depending on the meaning of "all").

But there is no "mark all unread" anywhere in the app, and there is a "mark all read" (for which there is a confirmation).

One could argue that selecting some set of messages and unintentionally marking them "starred" or "not starred" is equally "destructive".

Or that sending an email to your boss or ex when drunk is "destructive", maybe even more so.

I see your point now. This explanation makes sense.
(I never mark all messages one way or the other.)
