- alfonsodev 7y agoSounds like you could benefit from enabling the category tabs feature in gmail, at least it will separate few categories for you
- jedberg 7y agoYou could try email bankruptcy. Just mark everything as read. If it's important, they'll send it again. I cheat by marking everything more than 30 days old as read. I do that once a year in February. I mark everything from the previous year as read on Feb 1. Sometimes I do it again in July/August.
- Freeboots 7y agoSame, I go even more ruthless. Any unread email over a week old gets marked read, any read email over a week old gets archived. All Updates, Social, Promotion emails get marked read on arrival. All Primary inbox emails get intercepted on arrival and batched back into inbox on a schedule (usually twice a day). I sit at zero most of the time, and ive only ever missed emails a bare handful of times, so seems to work.
- jedberg 7y agoHow do you batch the incoming emails into a few drops a day?
- Freeboots 7y agoI use a simple Apps Script. A filter adds a "New Messages" label to incoming "category:primary" and skips inbox, then the script on timer triggers remove the label and put them back in inbox https://github.com/MichaelYock/GmailScripts/blob/master/GmailBatch.gs https://github.com/MichaelYock/GmailScripts/blob/master/Gmai... Come to think of it, i was going to make a GUI for this now that gmail add-on Cards have a Home Card option
- bishalb 7y agoYou could do that to an extent with filters. Just make sure to check apply to all existing conversations.
