Gmail erroneously moved all 16,000 of my messages in all folders to Trash. Now I have to restore them, at least to my Inbox, if nothing else, where most messages resided. However, I can only select messages one page at a time. At 50 messages per page, this could take a looong time. Is there a way to move all contents of the Trash can at once?

I have just found out how to do this, thank God. When you select all messages in a page, a new line pops up just above the topmost message; in that line, there is an underlined "select all 16,000 messages". Click that, and then you can perform an operation (such as move) to all your messages. |

Go to your trash folder. In the upper right hand corner, click the checkbox, then select all. Then, go to the Move to drop down and move where it makes sense. Screen shot below.
