Accidentally Moved all Emails to Junk

Apple Please add a confirmation on the Select All > Move To Junk feature within the Mail app. On multiple occasions I’ve moved my entire mailbox to the junk folder accidentally and I see many members of the community have done the same.

There is no easy fix once this is done. You have to manually go through the and move emails back to inbox.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15
