I don’t know why this is hard for me to remember, but I forget how\u00a0to\u00a0“Select All” in any gmail view whether\u00a0in an advanced search or a label view. And the first searches on the web I found for this are dated. So thought I’d write it down here.<\/p>\n

In this example, I’m trying to delete over 6,000 notices that have been auto-filed in a label (folder) I call “backup”.<\/p>\n

Here are the steps:<\/p>\n

1. Perform a search or switch to a label view. In this case I have 6,157 messages in a label view called “backup”.<\/p>\n

\"gmail-select-all-step-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"gmail-select-all-step-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Gmail will offer you an option to choose all items with a link! Now I can select all and trash or label thousands of messages at once.<\/p>\n

\"gmail-select-all-step-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I guess it is hard to remember that a link is going to show when I know All doesn’t mean All (at least not at first.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
