Can any owner shed light on how to select multiple items at once in the built-in Mail app?

I know it's capable of it from the reviews, but can't figure out how to do it.

It's kind of stupid, but what you have to do is choose your action (delete, move, etc) from the menu first, THEN you'll get the checkboxes for multi-select...

I agree it is pretty stupid. The standalone Gmail app works fine though with multiple check boxes, I prefer that for my Gmail, but when reading my exchange email via the built-in email app. I am SOL and generally go to my phone after a bit of frustration.
