Gmail difference between inbox and all mail

In Gmail, the "Inbox" and "All Mail" labels serve different purposes. Here's a breakdown of the differences:

Inbox:

• The Inbox label shows only the emails that are considered "unread" or "new" in your Gmail account.
• It filters out emails that are marked as "read" or "archived".
• The Inbox is the default view when you log in to your Gmail account.
• It's designed to show you the most important and recent emails that require your attention.

All Mail:

• The All Mail label shows all emails in your Gmail account, including:
  • Unread emails (i.e., emails that are new and haven't been read yet).
  • Read emails (i.e., emails that have been read but not archived or deleted).
  • Archived emails (i.e., emails that have been moved to the "All Mail" label but are no longer visible in the Inbox).
  • Deleted emails (i.e., emails that have been permanently deleted, but are still stored in the "Trash" label).
• The All Mail label includes all emails in your account, regardless of their status (unread, read, archived, or deleted).
• You can use the All Mail label to view all your emails at once, including those that are no longer in your Inbox.

Key differences:

• The Inbox shows only new and unread emails, while All Mail shows all emails, including read and archived ones.
• The Inbox is designed for quick scanning and responding to new emails, while All Mail is useful for searching, filtering, and managing all your emails.

When to use each:

• Use the Inbox when you want to quickly scan and respond to new emails that require your attention.
• Use All Mail when you want to search, filter, or manage all your emails, including archived and deleted ones.

I hope this helps clarify the difference between the Inbox and All Mail labels in Gmail!
