How to choose emails for bulk action
If you want to apply bulk actions only to specific emails, you can do this with email Views:
- Create a View with conditions that match the emails you want.
- Open the View to display only those emails.
- Apply the bulk action to the filtered list.
Using Views helps you target the right emails and avoid making unnecessary changes across your inbox.
