Working with conversations in batches
You can archive, label, delete, or perform other actions on a batch of conversations at 
once, in your Inbox or in another labeled list of conversations.
1
In the Inbox or other conversation list, check the conversations that you want to 
work with as a batch.
When you check a conversation, the Archive, Delete, and Labels buttons 
appear at the bottom of the screen.
2
Touch Archive, Delete, or Labels. Or press Menu
and touch Add star,
Report spam, Mute, Mark read/Mark unread, or Deselect all.
If you are using Priority Inbox, you can also mark conversations important or not 
important in the menu (see “Working with Priority Inbox” on page 149).
Your action affects the entire batch of messages.
If you delete a batch of conversations, you can touch Undo in the yellow bar at the 
top of the screen to undelete them. You can also use Undo after muting, 
archiving, and reporting spam.
If you never work with batches of messages, you can hide the checkboxes to leave 
more room for the subjects of conversations. See “Changing Gmail settings” on 
page 163.
Check conversations to add them to the 
batch.
Touch a button to act on the batch, or 
press 
Menu
to act on the batch in other
