What are email list actions in the mobile app?

When you long-press an email in the list, everything you can do with that email opens in a single menu; you can reply, label and archive without opening the email. Who can do it: any user signed in to the app. The action is applied immediately and the list updates; you do not need to open the email. The menu shows only the actions for which you have permission in that mailbox.
