Gmail: Mark All Unread Mail as Read

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 | General, Tutorials, Web Design

For the longest time I had 648 unread message in my gmail account. When I created the account, I didn’t use it as much as I do now, so it got polluted with unread messages that I never really planned on going back to read. I finally discovered a way to get my unread count back to 0, which delivers the impression that my inbox is clean.

Step 1:

  • Log into your account
Please don’t make me include this…

Step 1a:

  • Click: Select: All

Step 2:

  • Click: Select all ### conversations in Inbox

gmail_mark_all_unread_mail_as_read

Step 3:

  • Click: More Actions > Mark as readgmail_mark_all_as_read

Hi!
This doesn’t work.
I DO exactly as stated but it doesn’t make them read.
The other buttons work, I can make messages unread.
