Manage Inbox conversations

Use Inbox to work with conversations in one mailbox or across your team’s mailboxes. Search and filters narrow the visible conversations without changing the messages they contain.

​

Select conversations

Select the checkbox beside a conversation to work with it. The checkbox above the list selects the visible conversations. After selecting a conversation, open the selected count menu to choose a scope:

• All loaded conversations selects the conversations shown in the list.
• All loaded, unread only selects unread conversations shown in the list.
• When search or filters apply, Every matching conversation includes every conversation that matches the active mailbox, folder, search, label, attachment, read, and starred filters.
• Every conversation in this folder includes every conversation in the active mailbox and folder, without search or filters. In All inboxes, it includes the folder across your team’s inboxes.

When every loaded conversation is selected, a link below the action row offers to include conversations beyond the newest 50 shown in the list. The action row replaces search while conversations are selected. Before applying an action, remove a search or filter chip to clear that filter and the selection, or press / to clear the selection and return to search. You can clear individual conversations from the prepared selection before you apply an action. Changing the mailbox, folder, search, or filters clears the selection.

​

Update the selection

The selection bar shows the actions supported by every mailbox in the current scope. Depending on the folder and mailbox capabilities, you can:

• Archive or delete conversations.
• Mark conversations as read or unread.
• Mark conversations as spam or move them out of spam.
• Star conversations or remove their stars.
• Apply a label.

Select an action once. Sendmux processes large selections in the background and shows completed and failed conversation counts. Some messages in a failed conversation might already have changed. Review the listed failures before trying again.
