I am looking forward to the updates for smartmobile view.

If you are set on having a select all which is invisibly in
effect on the entire mailbox, then add a pop up warning
announcing the number of messages being selected or something.
I've had 3 or 4 users accidentally delete their entire mailbox
of hundreds of messages, requiring a restore from backup tape.

To avoid these accidents, I've removed the select all box from my code.
It is better to be safe than be sorry.  It leaves my users
happier and I spend less time with backup tape restores.

Click, scroll, shift click works as a controllable workaround to select all.
