Select all emails in the current folder matching criteria from a single selected email.
About this Add-on
Select Similar adds a fast keyboard-driven workflow for selecting groups of related emails in any
folder.
Select one email, press Alt+Shift+S, and a small modal opens letting you choose which attributes to
match on. Confirm, and every email in the current folder sharing those attributes is added to your selection — ready
for bulk move, delete, label, or archive.
Matching criteria:
Each criterion can be toggled on or off independently, and the matched value is editable before confirming. The
existing selection is preserved; matched emails are added to it rather than replacing it.
Use cases:
