How to Mark an Entire Gmail Inbox as Read

ii Answers 2

If you go to the "All Mail" view from a figurer (non sure how the mobile version works) and click the 'select all' checkbox, a little notification saying something similar "All 50 conversations on this page are selected. Select all 24,037 conversations in All Post" should appear, where the last part is a link. If you click that link, then click 'Mark every bit Read,' it should take care of the problem.

• Well fifty-fifty afterward you practise this (click on All mails and then click Marker as read) it still does not mark all as read. And the unread messages come back as soon as I refresh.

• @user30994 Non sure what's happening here... hard to debug why it'south non marker all of the messages as read, without more information. As to the refresh...the marking-as-read is going to be a fairly bandwidth-intensive operation, so it's possible y'all're refreshing before all of the mark-read instructions accept been sent beyond to the Gmail servers?

This should be washed in a desktop browser (non mobile)

1. Enter the post-obit in the search bar at the top of Gmail folio "is:unread"

2. Click "select all" (checkbox above the list of messages in upper left)

3. Click the hyperlink in the text that pops up in the "All 100 conversations on this page are selected. Select all 56,315 conversations in All Mail"

4. Click the "Marker As Read" button on the peak.

• The offering to select conversations across 100 displays only when I go into "All Postal service" view and then choose "Select all" using the drop down. When I start in any kind of a filtered view, the offering does not brandish for me. So yep, following the instructions to the letter, this worked for me in 2018.

• In 2018 I can only display up to 100 Eastward-Mails per page, so I tin't marker them all as read at in one case, but since I only had about 650 unread E-Mails it was doable this way anyway.
