How to check all emails in gmail

Although there are many alternatives, Google's Gmail is by far the most ubiquitous email provider around, and for a good reason. It features solid automation, filters, and tools for users to take advantage of. Email inboxes tend to fill up with junk, and while there are steps you can take to filter, sort, and clear out inbox items, sometimes the process requires a manual touch. Sometimes, the manual touch is to delete everything in sight, or at least archive it so that it's out of the way.

How to select all in Gmail in a desktop browser

To clear out your email or do bulk management, you need to use Gmail's select all feature, which you can do in a desktop browser as follows:

  1. Open Gmail and log in using your Google credentials if necessary.
  2. When you're in the Gmail inbox, make sure you're in the correct view and displaying all the content you want to see. You can select the mailbox or folder you want to work in from the sidebar, and you can collapse sections within each folder or inbox to exclude them from the selection.
