Refile/Move multiple messages (Android)

I checked out multiple Support/forum posts first, but I found no matches, nor could I find this in the interface.

I just switched to Thunderbird yesterday, due to Microsoft's continually pushing their awful, new Outlook. I'm generally pleased, although I was stunned this morning to find that (when multiple messages are selected on my Android phone) there's no option on any of the More/... menus to Move/Refile all of them at once, if they're going to the same folder. I set one of my swipe actions to Move, but that only works for the individual email I'm swiping on.

Apparently, I have to move every single one separately, which is a pain if you're moving more than one or two. If there's no such option that I missed spotting, *PLEASE* add this to your road map ASAP, since it's a very basic feature to still be missing, for as long as Thunderbird has been around! All essential functions a user can do with one message must be available with multiple ones. Thanks!
