Starting fresh with my email using GMail archive feature
I’ve always hated logging into my GMail account and seeing I have over 3,000 unread messages in my indox. The number seems to pop out and scream “Chris, you have so many unread messages, think of all those people who have taken the time to email you!” To be honest, I’ve gotten quite good at skimming as I receive over 100 emails per day, so I tend to just read and respond to the most urgent and think to myself I’ll read the other later. By the time later arrives, I’m already on a new page of 25 emails!
Anyway, today I come across a feature in GMail that I wasn’t aware of before that let’s you archive your emails (read and unread) so that I can clear my indox but I’m still able to search for emails as they have not been deleted entirely.
So, apologies to anyone that is expecting a reply from me – Shot me a reminder if it’s important.
How do you manage high volume emails?
Select All and Mark as Read
Well, there’s filter and labels too in Gmail. try using it. It will help a lot if you get emails from few selected users. This marks out those emails which you should read and makes life lot easier

I haven’t worked out how to use labels yet but will look into this when I have some time. Thanks for the heads up Tajim!
Me too, highly recommend using filters and labels.
You’ll have a clean Inbox with no emails lost.
Great thing bout Gmail is the search feature… so no emails are lost
