Mark All Unread Mail as Read- Gmail Tip

Posted on by Ragulan

I had more than 1000 unrad mail mesages as unread. It seemed always irritating for me when ever i open my gmail. All were spams and unwanted messages. Anyway i got this tip to make all read. Here it goes………

  1. Go to your Settings/Filters page and create a new filter.
  2. In the Has the words field enter “is:unread” (without quotes), and click the Next Step button.
  3. You’ll get a message warning you that this type of filter won’t be applied to new mail, but that’s OK.  Click OK to continue.
  4. Check the boxes next to Mark as read and Also apply filter to … conversations below.
  5. Click Create Filter button, and you’re done.  You might want to should delete the filter once you finish since it won’t be needing it anymore.

I would like to introduce myself as an Entrepreneur first and then I might add, I am a Chartered Marketer, Practicing Marketer, and others. Why I would like to emphasize on this particularly is my role in this capacity adds a great spirit to my soul. The next thing that enriches my thoughts is Marketing. I love being a Marketer myself and being the owner of my Marketing Consultancy firm, Epitom Consulting, one of young yet emerging marketing Consultancy company in Sri Lanka.

  15. You don’t need to do all of this bending over backwards with the filter.

    Click on ‘All’, then click on ‘Select all conversations in Inbox’ in the yellow bar that appears above your list of mail. Then click on Actions->Mark As Read.
