The chosen action affects the selected batch of messages. If you accidentally delete
a batch of conversations, you can tap
Undo
in the green bar (that appears briefly
after the action) at the top of the Inbox screen to return the messages to the Inbox or
appropriate label. You can also use
Undo
after muting, archiving, and reporting
spam. If you never work with batches of messages, you can hide the check boxes to
leave more room for the subjects of conversations. (See
Changing Gmail Settings
.)

labels, but you can also add your own through Gmail on the Web.

You can assign or change the labels of one or more conversations at once.
1. From your Inbox or another label, checkmark the conversations to select a batch. (See
Working with Conversations in Batches
.)
