Gmail archive all Read but Unstared

Written by iassael on 18/11/2014. Posted in computing, general

gmailThe last few years I have been using Gmail’s priority inbox.

There have been several times that I want to clean my read messages that are not stared.

Gmail doesn’t provide a direct feature to remove more than 50. So…

You can go to search and type this: is:read -label:starred

Then click on the Select – All tick box under the search bar, and a new option Select All pages will appear

click on that too.

Finally, click on the Archive button. 🙂

    I searched how to do this yesterday, and was unsuccessful. Then today, this is the second search result I found. The search capabilities within Gmail are awesome. It’s so simple, but I never would have thought to use a ‘-‘ in front of the label.
    Thanks so much!
