How to go to oldest mail in gmail

To access the oldest email in your Gmail inbox, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using the "Older" button

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the "Inbox" tab to view your inbox.
  3. Click on the "Older" button located at the top right corner of the inbox page, just above the list of emails.

This will take you to the oldest emails in your inbox. You can continue clicking on the "Older" button to view older emails.

Method 2: Using the "Search" function

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the "Search" button located at the top of the inbox page.
  3. Type "in:inbox is:older" in the search bar and press Enter.

This will take you to the oldest emails in your inbox. You can also use other search operators to refine your search, such as "in:inbox is:older -label:important" to exclude important emails.

Method 3: Using the "Filter" feature

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the "Settings" icon (represented by a gear icon) located at the top right corner of the inbox page.
  3. Click on "Filters and Blocked Addresses" from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click on "Create a new filter" and enter the following criteria:
    • "To: me" (to filter emails sent to your Gmail address)
    • "Older than" (select a time period, such as "1 year" or "5 years")
  5. Click on "Create" to apply the filter.
  6. Click on the "Apply" button to apply the filter to your inbox.

This will take you to the oldest emails in your inbox that match the filter criteria.

Note: The "Older" button and the "Search" function may not work if you have a large number of emails in your inbox, as Gmail may not be able to load all the emails at once. In that case, you can try using the "Filter" feature or using a third-party email client or add-on to access older emails.
