Another shortcoming of the gmail app...

It doesn't matter because no matter what detail less than a hundred Google employees think to add to their native apps, 1 of a million users of the device is going to find something they missed and crucify them for not adding a convenience item. Multi-selection would have been a nice add-on, but you also have to consider they might have left it out for a reason. Who knows what that reason is? Either way, the interface is so quick, that to me, it's not THAT difficult to go back and forth. But that's the American culture I guess... lazy.

The post would have been just as informative without the last line. A big priority in features is to be able to do tasks with the least steps possible. If developers/engineers didn't design for us being "lazy," we'd still have to assign irq addresses to our pc cards and press the power button on the pc after the OS was finished shutting down.
