Working with Conversations in Batches
You can archive, label, delete, or perform other actions on a batch of
conversations at once, in your Inbox or in another label.
1. From the Inbox, or a folder with another label, touch the checkbox for all
the messages you want to include in the batch.
When you checkmark a conversation, the
Archive
,
Delete
, and
Labels
buttons appear at the bottom of the screen.
2. Touch
Archive
,
Delete
, or
Labels
or touch the
Menu Key
>
Add
star, Mark read/unread, Mark important/Not important, Report spam,
Mute,
and
More (Deselect all, Help, About).
Your action affects the selected batch of messages.
If you accidentally delete a batch of conversations, you can touch
Undo
in the green bar (that appears briefly after the action) at the top of the
screen to undo the action and restore the message(s) to the previous
location. You can also use Undo after muting, archiving, and reporting
spam.
Labeling a Conversation
As mentioned previously, conversations are organized by labels. Gmail has
several default labels, but you can also add your own through Gmail on the
web.
