Gmail

Consumer Reports tells you how delete 100000 emails in two days. Cleaning out your Gmail inbox is easier than you might think, and it could save you money, ...

If you leave it in place, any future emails that match the description in that filter (i.e., contain “oldnavy.com”) automatically get sent to the Trash. To find the filter, click the Settings cogwheel in your Gmail inbox, then Filters and Blocked Addresses. You can then click “Delete” next to the filter. If so, prepare yourself, and your inbox, for mountains of emails you’ll likely never read, until it comes time to free up storage space. As of right now, early on the morning of April 25, I’m down to 74,196 emails in my Gmail inbox. The first is that 15GB of free storage may sound vast, but it’s not infinite, especially if your account is more than a decade old. In a bit of trivia, Gmail debuted on April 1, 2004, with 1GB of free storage space. Now click “Create Filter.” Another window will pop up with a series of check boxes where you can take action on all the emails caught by the filter. You should now see every single email that contains the string “oldnavy.com,” whether that’s from an @oldnavy.com email address, a friend who shared a link to a pair of pants on oldnavy.com, whatever. You end up with so much email by merely “marking as read” every single email that arrived. Click on Advanced Search on the top right of your screen. As you will see, companies use all sorts of email addresses to successfully reach your inbox. Come up with a search term likely to yield dozens of unwanted emails. Use it to find and delete, say, long-forgotten PDFs or pointless snapshots lurking in your account.
