If you are using the Windows 10 Mail app, you can activate, deactivate, modify and use the Scan actions. If you’re using a Windows 10 touch device, you can use swipe actions with your finger; otherwise, you can find buttons when you hover over an email in your Mail app.
The Mail app in Windows 10 is one of the best free email clients that allows users to add email from almost any provider. As Windows 10 is very compatible and fluid with touch screen monitors, the Mail application offers this functionality to enhance the user experience. Like most email clients for mobile platforms, you can perform scanning actions so that you can quickly choose something to do (example: archive, delete, move, etc.).

You must click on this icon. After that, a panel should appear on the right side of your screen. Here you can find an option called List of messages. You must click on this option.
By default, sweep actions are enabled. If not, you must switch the Activate scan actions button. After that, you can choose the account on which you want to apply the actions. If you have multiple accounts and want to use on each of them, it is best to check the box Apply to all accounts check box.
Then you can choose the scan actions. To do this, develop the Swipe right / hover and Swipe left / hover drop-down list and select the action as needed. For your information, you can have the options Set / Clear indicator, Mark as read / unread, Archive, Delete, Move and Move to spam.
That’s all! From now on, you can drag to effectively perform the selection action.
I hope it helps!
