How to select all emails in the iOS 18.2 Mail app?

I can't see any good way to select all emails in the iOS 18.2 Mail app. I think you can do it by scrolling down with two fingers, but that's a pain when you have hundreds of emails. In the older versions of Mail I would normally Select All then Mark as Read which made it easy to see where I left off the last time.


Am I missing something?

TIA

Heres a future reference for those who haven’t figured it out,


If you have the mail categories turned on, go all the way to the category on the right, to the All Mail "category"(which can be done by swiping right) . Then "Select All" will show up in the top-left when you choose "Select". If you are within Primary or any of the other categories, there is no Select All button.
