Email management. Like at all. Set up filters and use the archive. There is a key to do that. And holy fuck 2432 unread emails? You should be ashamed of yourself

That's all newsletters. I promise.

  1. Go to "all mail" view.
  2. Find the first newsletter.
  3. Unsubscribe.
  4. Search "from:[email protected]".
  5. Select all and delete.
  6. Repeat 1-5 until no newsletters remain.

Now you'll have a pile of emails you can actually parse, and all the newsletters clogging up your inbox will stop arriving in the future.

Do this every time your emails start to get away from you and you'll be golden.

You might be able to select all. Wait 3 hours. Press 'mark as read'. Wait another 3 hours. And then unsubscribe as the bullshit hits your inbox

Also. Move read emails to the archive people. That's what it is there for.
