Bulk Archive cleans up years of accumulated mail in a few clicks. It groups your senders into categories such as newsletters, receipts, and notifications, so you can archive thousands of emails at once instead of selecting messages one by one. Open Bulk Archive under Cleanup in the left sidebar, or visit Bulk Archive.

​
How It Works

  1. The first time you open Bulk Archive, a setup dialog appears. Click Get Started to let Inbox Zero categorize your senders. Categorizing can take a few minutes.
  2. Review the category cards: Newsletter, Marketing, Receipt, Notification, and Other.
  3. Click Archive all on a card to process every sender in that category. It runs immediately, in one click.
  4. To review first, click the card header to expand it. All of the category’s senders start selected; untick any you want to keep. The button then shows your selection, for example Archive 8 of 10. Unticked senders stay skipped even if you collapse the card again, where the button reads Archive all.
To move a sender to a different category, click the pencil icon (Edit category) next to it. Use Categorize to sort senders that haven’t been categorized yet.

​
Choose the Bulk Action

Open Settings on the Bulk Archive page to choose what the category buttons do. The card button changes to match, for example Mark all as read or Delete all.
  • Archive: Remove matching messages from the inbox while keeping them searchable.
  • Mark as read: Clear the unread state without moving the messages.
  • Delete: Move matching messages to trash. This is the only action that asks you to confirm first, so review the selected senders carefully.
