00:00There are two kinds of people in this world, those who stay on top of their email inbox

00:04and those who don't.

00:05And today I'm going to show you how to easily manage your Gmail inbox so it doesn't give

00:09you a sense of crippling anxiety and general malaise.

00:11Now, Gmail inboxes are notorious for collecting spam and trash emails.

00:16That's my character!

00:17I'm the trash man!

00:19And while I'd recommend throwing the entire service in the garbage along with all those

00:23tracker riddled emails, I recognize that you've got friends and important services that are

00:28connected to your Gmail account, so let's go ahead and make the most out of a bad inbox.

00:33Let's start with an easy one, deleting by sender.

00:35All those emails from the gym that you signed up to six months ago but have only been to

00:39twice, forget about them.

00:40So type in the sender's email to the search bar, hit enter, check the box at the top, then

00:44click the blue text that says select all conversations that match this search, then trash them.

00:49Next, maybe my favorite method is deleting by date range.

00:52Who needs emails from six years ago?

00:54Not me.

00:55Click the search bar in this format, after 1-1-2020, before 1-1-2021, for example.

01:01Hit enter, then the box, and then the blue text again.

01:03And trash them.

01:04Next, deleting by label.

01:05Now, if you were once organized enough to categorize your emails like this but still have an overflowing

01:10inbox, something must have gone horribly wrong, and for that I apologize.

01:13So hit the labels panel and select the label, the one that you want to get rid of, and the

01:17same process.

01:18Just trash them.

01:19If you're real confident that you don't have anything of importance in your mailbox, you can go ahead

01:23and do the same process with all of your emails.

01:26Just hit the top box, and once again hit that blue text, and then trash them.

01:30But as I was saying before, you can do better than Gmail.

01:33With ProtonMail, you can take advantage of aliases, custom domains, and more.

01:37Privacy is Proton's bread and butter, and with no ads or trackers, you'll have peace

01:41of mind when sending and receiving emails.

01:43And we even have an easy switch feature to make your de-googling process as seamless as

01:48possible.
