Managing your inbox

Keep an item for later with Snooze, or delete its inbox row when you have finished with it. These actions organise your inbox; they do not decide the underlying request.

​

Mark what you have read

Opening an item marks it read. To change that yourself, right-click the row and choose Mark as read or Mark as unread. On a computer, the selected item’s header also has a read-status button. To mark everything read, open More actions above the list and choose Mark all read. This includes items outside your current filters. For several items, hold Cmd on Mac or Ctrl on Windows while clicking rows. Use Shift-click for a range. The header then offers Mark read and Delete for your selection.

​

Set an item aside

Right-click its row, open Snooze and choose 1 hour, 3 hours, Tomorrow 9am or Next week. Next week means next Monday at 09:00; the calendar choices use your browser’s timezone. The item disappears until that time, then returns as unread. Use Undo in the confirmation message if you want it back immediately.

​

Clear finished items

Delete one item from its row menu or, on a computer, its detail header. Under More actions, choose:

• Delete all read to clear read items and keep unread ones.
• Delete all to clear the inbox, including snoozed and filtered-out items.

Confirm the bulk action in the dialog. To reverse it, use Undo in the confirmation message while it is available. There is no Trash view to browse later. For routine cleanup, set Auto-delete read items in notification settings.
