Bug Description

I think that you should have the creators of Geary install check boxes to select multiple emails as not every person knows that
"Crl + L-click" selects multiple emails. This is a simple but important thing.

Interesting idea. You're right that multiple selection is a little clunky, but it would also be tricky to get checkboxes to work intuitively with the existing design. We've opened a ticket at http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6829. Thanks!

i agree that it will be hard but if you just make a selection up top to select all you want would be a little easier design.
