move full contents of one folder to another folder(select all function)

I am reorganizing my thunderbird Local Folders and want to move the entire contents of one folder to another folder. The only way I know to do that is to click(with ctrl pressed) on each email that I want to move. For a folder with hundreds of emails this can be unbelievably tedious. I would like something like a select all function so that I could minimize the number of "clicks" to move the email. Also is it possible to do a cut and paste of a folder to a new location. While I am at it, is there a user manual for Thunderbird?

Standard computer selection methods that have been around forever.

Hold control and click random items - selects any item clicked on

click item 1, move up or down several items and hold the shift key while clicking item 2 - selects items 1 and 2 and all in between

control+a - select all

hold the control key while clicking a selected item - deselect that item
