How do i select several items in outlook mail

In Outlook, you can select multiple items in the Mail view by using one of the following methods:

1. Shift + Click: Select the first item you want to select, then hold down the Shift key and click on the last item you want to select. All items between the two will be selected.
2. Ctrl + Click: Select the first item you want to select, then hold down the Ctrl key and click on each additional item you want to select. Each item will be added to the selection.
3. Ctrl + A: Select all items in the current folder by pressing Ctrl + A.
4. Drag and Drop: Select the first item you want to select, then drag the mouse over the other items you want to select. Release the mouse button when you've selected all the items you want.
5. Right-click and Select All: Right-click on an item, then select "Select All" from the context menu. This will select all items in the current folder.
6. Use the "Select" button: In the ribbon, click on the "Select" button in the "Home" tab, then select "Select All" or "Select None" to toggle the selection on or off.

Once you've selected multiple items, you can perform actions on them, such as:

• Move or copy them to a different folder
• Delete them
• Mark them as read or unread
• Flag them for follow-up
• Apply a rule to them

Note that some actions may not be available if you've selected items from different folders or accounts.
