Checkbox for message selection

Hi there,

Is there a way to get checkboxes to select messages or at least a plan to get it in a future release? I saw that there has been an add-on in the past, but not maintained for some years and therefore not possible to use in newer versions. Yes, I know that you can select messages with ctrl and mouse click, but there are others in my family who are not familiar with it and reluctant to get used to it. (have used gmail for too long).

Greetings Grauer

You can do that in Table View. The menu at right sie has the option to show a 'select message' box by each message. If now using card view, click the icon at top of message list pane to make the switch

Thank you very much for the fast answer. I was not aware of it as I usually do not use the table view. I find the card view much more convenient.

Anyway, at least I know now how to get checkboxes and hope my wife will be happy with it.

BTW, does anybody know if this feature will be available in card view in future?
