That's all newsletters. I promise.

  1. Go to "all mail" view.
  2. Find the first newsletter.
  3. Unsubscribe.
  4. Search "from:email@from.newsletter".
  5. Select all and delete.
  6. Repeat 1-5 until no newsletters remain.

Now you'll have a pile of emails you can actually parse, and all the newsletters clogging up your inbox will stop arriving in the future.

Do this every time your emails start to get away from you and you'll be golden.

damn I've been making a new email when it gets too spammy and keep a list of accounts for changing all my accounts over

I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word "Unsubscribe".

You might be able to select all. Wait 3 hours. Press 'mark as read'. Wait another 3 hours. And then unsubscribe as the bullshit hits your inbox

Also. Move read emails to the archive people. That's what it is there for.
