How to empty google mail bin more often

The pesky Gmail bin! Here are some tips to help you empty your Gmail bin more frequently:

  1. Set up a filter: Create a filter that automatically moves messages from your bin to your inbox or a designated folder. To do this:
    • Log in to your Gmail account.
    • Click on the gear icon and select "See all settings."
    • Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
    • Click on "Create a new filter."
    • Enter a search query to identify the messages you want to move (e.g., "from:bin").
    • Choose the action you want to take (e.g., "Apply the label" and select a label).
    • Click "Create filter."
  2. Use the "Mark as read" feature: When you're in your bin, you can quickly mark multiple messages as read by checking the boxes next to them and clicking the "Mark as read" button. This will help you declutter your bin and make it easier to find important messages.
  3. Use the "Bulk actions" feature: Similar to the previous tip, you can use the "Bulk actions" feature to quickly delete or archive multiple messages at once. To do this:
    • Select the messages you want to delete or archive.
    • Click the three vertical dots at the top of the message list.
    • Select "Bulk actions" from the dropdown menu.
    • Choose the action you want to take (e.g., "Delete" or "Archive").
  4. Schedule regular bin cleanups: Set a reminder or calendar event to remind yourself to clean out your bin regularly. You can also set a recurring task in your calendar to do this.
  5. Use a third-party email client or app: If you use a third-party email client or app, such as Microsoft Outlook or Boomerang, you may be able to set up automatic bin cleanups or reminders.
  6. Use Gmail's built-in "Undo Send" feature: If you're prone to sending emails by mistake, consider enabling Gmail's "Undo Send" feature. This will give you a short window of time to retract an email after sending it.
  7. Practice good email hygiene: To reduce the amount of clutter in your bin, try to:
    • Unsubscribe from unwanted newsletters and promotional emails.
    • Use a spam filter or report spam messages.
    • Avoid forwarding or copying messages unnecessarily.
    • Use clear and concise subject lines to help you quickly identify important messages.

By implementing these tips, you should be able to empty your Gmail bin more frequently and keep your inbox organized!
