Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in feature

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
3. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.

6. Click on the "Create filter" button.
7. In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "Apply the label: All Mail".

This will apply the "All Mail" label to all your emails, effectively archiving them.

3. Press Enter to execute the search.

6. Click on the "Archive" button.

Method 3: Using a third-party add-on

There are several third-party add-ons available that can help you archive all your emails on Gmail. Some popular options include:

• Sanebox: A paid add-on that can automatically archive your emails based on various criteria.
• Boomerang: A paid add-on that allows you to schedule emails to be archived at a later time.
• SaneBlackHole: A free add-on that can automatically archive your emails based on various criteria.

Please note that these add-ons may have limitations and may not work as expected.

Important notes:

• Archiving all your emails on Gmail may take some time, depending on the number of emails you have.
• Archiving emails will move them to the "All Mail" label, which is a separate label from the "Inbox" label. This means that archived emails will not be visible in your inbox, but you can still access them by searching for them or using the "All Mail" label.
• If you have a large number of emails, it's recommended to use a combination of these methods to avoid overwhelming your Gmail account.
