"select all" functionality inside gmail app

[sapv]

Am i missing something? I am trying to find a way to select all mails inside gmail app to either move them to a label or delete. All i see is "deselect all" when i manually select mails one by one. I have seen in the forums that K-9 mail is a solution. I tried it but K-9 has serious issues when it comes to notification. I would like to know if there is a way i can do "select all" within the native gmail app on my samsung captivate. Thanks
