I have 50,689 messages now, down from ~68K. So I deleted like 18K. Again, it seems ridiculous that I need to delete messages. However, it is even more ridiculo

I have 50,689 messages now, down from ~68K. So I deleted like 18K. Again, it seems ridiculous that I need to delete messages.
However, it is even more ridiculous that if this is the solution that works, Gmail makes it really hard to make it work. There is no way to search for the biggest messages. There is no way to isolate all mailing lists. I can't find a way to search for [ in the subject.
I ended up launching up etacts and otherinbox and looking for people I used to contact years ago (old projects) and deleted emails from those projects.
- surki 16y agoUse IMAP access to get & sort messages by size and delete ?
- blehn 16y agoyeah definitely agree -- it shouldn't slow down with more messages if one of the primary selling points is, "never delete another message."
- Terretta 16y agoAlso, I haven't found any way to do a search then delete particular messages without deleting the whole conversation. Anyone know how to do a search w/o pulling in conversations, and/or delete selected search results without deleting whole threads? At present, I resort to IMAP. // Over 150,000 messages per mail box, working on my third mail box.
- hokkos 16y agoHow do you know the total number of message is gmail ?
- iamelgringo 16y agoI've been having the exact same problem. I've been playing around with Outlook + Xobni as a possible solution. Xobni is really nice software. It has some killer features that I'd love to have on any webmail client. Syncing contacts and email with Google apps is an issue, but from what I read, paying GOOG $50 a year solves that problem.
