Mass Archive via Select All

With our Select All feature, select multiple emails at once from a search, from within a your inbox, or within a specific Split. 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the first message you want to archive. We will mark this, and all messages below as done!

  2. On Desktop, hit Cmd+A (Mac) or Ctrl+A (Windows) to Select All From Here. Alternatively, hit Cmd+Shift+A or Ctrl+Shift+A to select everything.

    On Mobile, long-press, tap Select All, then tap or swipe to keep recent messages.

  3. From there, hit E on Desktop or tap the checkmark on iOS to mark all selected messages as Done! 🎉

Get Me to Zero

Get Me To Zero moves old emails from your inbox to your Done folder. What counts as old? Most people move emails older than one week. 

However, you can pick different periods of time from 1 day to 1 month!

To get started, just hit Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → Get Me To Zero ⚡

And don't worry: if you change your mind, you can simply undo! You can undo for up to seven days after starting the Get Me To Zero process by hitting Cmd+K or Ctrl+K → Bulk Actions.

Clicking on "more options…" in that window will open up the choices to keep Unread messages or Starred messages:

If you select these checkboxes, Unread or Starred messages will be ignored during your Get Me To Zero action ✅

FAQs

We intentionally batch-process lots of actions to avoid hitting the limit on how much data you can send through Gmail or Outlook’s API.

But don't worry! You'll be on your way to a cleaner Inbox in no time 🧹
