Re: Cleaning Up GMail
using a pc and a program like Thunderbird is probably the best way as you can filter mail by keywords and such and delete them all at once.

I couldn’t figure out a way to do this using the native app on my phone or the Inbox app either, nor could I figure out how to do it at www.gmail.com using Safari or using JAWS or NVDA on my laptop. I have correspondence from friends and family that goes back a few years that I want to keep. I figure everything else prior to, say June of this year can get trashed. So, anybody got any ideas?

Hi, All I can say is go into the mail app then hit eddit and at the bottom of the screen is a mark all button. An alert will pop up and you have to hit the mark as read button.
