Learn the fastest ways to mass delete Gmail emails, clear clutter, and achieve inbox zero on desktop or mobile in just a few simple steps.
Gmail's new feature will soon organize important emails into to-dos and topics, so you don't miss anything important.

A task has a due date and a sense of progression. It can be marked complete; an email cannot. By turning emails into tasks, you don't just reorganize your inbox; you also convert your intent into an actionable structure. The approach also scales well. Be it a handful of emails a day or a hundred, the process remains the same.
Fifteen gigabytes of free storage may sound like a lot when you make a Gmail account but it gets filled up quickly. For starters, the 15GB isn't just used for email: It also includes the files you've saved in your Google Drive and Google Photos.
At the top of the inbox, hit “Filter,” then “Sort by.” Depending on what version you’re running, you may have to go into the “View” tab and hit “From” in the Arrangement group. The emails will line up in your inbox by sender, making them easy to bundle and delete.
The idea for inbox amnesty comes from Lifehacker’s health editor, Beth Skwarecki, who advocates for achieving inbox zero by selecting all your emails and archiving them, instead of deleting them. “BOOM,” she says. “You have inbox zero and will do better in the future.”
