I thought another second why I would possibly imagine such a
functionality, result:
My email usage is very heavily read-bound, to 90% or more.
In a lot of my sessions I do not write anything at all, and most of the
time emptying the spam folder is the only action I use the keyboard for
at all, plus if I worked mouse-only for a while, this requires
a shift in body position. Presumably that's why this got in my way.

But seriously, a "select all" option in the message list pane's context
menu would be great.
I see it is in the Menu, but all possible actions you might
want to perform afterwards are sort of halfway across the screen -- so
far away I just forgot about the option until now.
