Yesterday I mentioned that I have started using Google notifier plus Growl. I love it, but I was noticing an issue. Often I receive emails that I intend to read, but don’t have time to read right then. In Gmail I simply leave them as ’unread.’ Over time, these unread emails accumulate to the point where I will have 250+ unread emails (these are not SPAM).
The issue is that Google Notifier will constantly update/ping me with ’new-old messages’, thinking that my old, unread emails were just sent. In the past I had tried to find an easy way to delete all these unread emails, but couldn’t figure out how. Now I have.
Solution.
In the Gmail search bar, type:
is:unread
This will pull all your unread Gmail messages onto one screen.
You can delete, or read from there.
