+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1817605 +++
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/110.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce:
Can't select multiple folders in new folder tree:
Click on a folder, use Shift+Down-arrow to select multiple folders.
Actual results:
Only one folder selected.
Expected results:
Should select multiple folders.
Potential (and my) use case: Multiple select folders to mark all messages as read. Some folks use filters to sort mail list junk (newsletters, etc) and the ability to bulk mark as read without traversing dozens/hundreds of folders is all but necessary. This has been a part of every version of Thunderbird since the netscape days.
Please restore this functionality.
Another use case: I have 6 imap accounts that I regularly use. When I return to TB to check them, I have to update each separately. In the past I could select all and update once. It is frustrating to have useful functionality removed for lack of imagination.

Hello, I confirm it is an essential feature, I need to select several folders to mark them all as read, I've been doing this every day for years, I can't do it folder by folder (I have about 35), I need to revert to an older version, I believed that developing software was about adding useful things, not removing them.

Hi, I also confirm it is an essential feature. I used it many times in a day. I would not want to switch to another client but it is such a feature what will force me to look for a different client if this won't be fixed.
