Anyway, "Uncheck all" doesn't uncheck every message. It only unchecks those that are currently on-screen. If there are other checked messages not currently on the page, they would remain checked. But not to worry. Checked messages do not stay checked forever. If you log out from your Gmail account, it clears all the checked messages. You start fresh every time you log in.
