Email Multi-Selection Mode in the Inbox

In LINK Email, there are two ways to multi-select emails in order to take action on several emails in one pass.

The two multi-select options are using Selection Checkboxes and using Selection Mode (Long Touch). Available actions include Delete, File, Flag, Unread, Read, and more.

Settings for Selection Mode

When Selection Mode is enabled, there will be no check boxes displayed in the Inbox. In Selection Mode, you use the long touch on a Email to turn on Selection Mode, then tap one or more Emails, then tap or swipe an action.

If you’d like to be able to long touch on an email in order to select it, you can easily turn on this option. Go into your email settings and under Appearance and Navigation, toggle on “Enable selection mode on long touch”.

Once you enable this feature, you have access to Show selection checkboxes.

Using Selection Checkboxes

First, choose whether you want the Selection Checkboxes to always be displayed in the Inbox or only when you are in Selection Mode. Set your preference in the Email Settings.

Now go to the section below: Actions - How to Take Action on Selected Emails

Using Selection Mode

In the Inbox, a “long touch” on a email will put the Inbox in Selection Mode. A haptic signal will indicate that you are in Selection Mode.

When Selection Mode is activated by a long touch, the Selection Checkboxes will be displayed in the left margin of the Inbox and the box will be checked beside the email where the long touch took place.

The image below shows:

• A long touch on the Bloomberg email turns on the Selection Toggles in the left margin and checks the one next to the Bloomberg email.

• At the bottom of the Inbox there is a banner, “You are in selection mode. Tap to exit.”

A haptic will signal that you have entered Selection Mode.

Now that you are in Selection Mode, tap as many other emails as you like to multi-select. The check-marks will appear when you tap the emails.

If you don’t want to be in Selection Mode, tap the banner at the bottom to exit or tap Clear in the upper left.
