Why is my select all button missing?

My select button is missing from my main outlook email. I am confused as to why it's no longer there as it is available for use on my other emails. I do not wish to switch to the desktop app or switch emails. I am aware that CTRL A/Shft + Click are options but I would like to have the functionality of just clicking to select multiple without the need of the keyboard. I have looked through all the settings I can find and even made a new account (this one) to see if there are any settings that differ that could've caused it, Unfortunately I found nothing helpful. I welcome any and all suggestions, relogging has also proved ineffective as well as removing all options from my toolbar and resetting it.

This tick icon is the one in question that has vanished.

    So, its been a couple of weeks since this issue was raised and nothing has been done to remedy it. Does anyone from Microsoft read these forums?

    Probably not. Seems to be more of a self help forum. I would guess the best we could get is a "I'll pass it up the chain" kind of response.

    There are two users on my/this computer, one has the select boxes in front of the emails and the other doesn't - So is there a setting that I'm missing? Why would anyone think this is beneficial not to have the select button in front of the email your about to read? Thank You LeeRelph for supplying the snip.

    Who's idea was it to do this? Can we have a couple hour long meetings to discuss the absolute ignorance involved on making SELECTING EMAILS harder? Fire these designers/developers
