Easy Way To Move Many Gmail Inbox Messages To A Label Or Folder UPDATED!

I struggled with trying to move my Gmail inbox messages all at once to a label or folder. I would have to go in one by one and select each message, then move it to my label. Google recommends setting up an automatic filter but here is a quick and easy way to do this in just a few clicks.

Thank you so much! I've been using Gmail for years but never understood why they use labels instead of folders. This is what I was looking for!

Thanks so much. I saw several videos trying to remove one email address from the inbox label and you were the only one who helped me.

I have seen bunch of videos and have read article on how to shift emails to a folder/ or label them so that they dont appear on my inbox. Trust me the videos with more than 1 million views could not explain the way u did. Thanks a lot for this quick tip. You saved my INBOX😀😃

Thanks man, I was trying to do this for 15 years but kept giving up. Think I can fire my therapist now and stop taking all these pills

Clear, accurate & precise! YOU ARE THE BEST! for yrs now I have tried to move(not copy) specific e-mails(say, all e-mails I'd received from eBay to move to a folder I called "my eBay purchases" but it would create duplicate copies (one in the eBay folder but also another in my Inbox! what? well, the main purpose of all this is to clean my Inbox by MOVING (not copying) e-mails from it to a respective self-created/named folder (called "Label" in Gmail). At 1:50 of your video I just found the answer.... the ARCHIVE function that will allow to take off the Inbox label (so there is ONLY one copy of emails and are no longer in the Inbox). THANK YOU!!

[amydelafuente]

Thank you for making simple sense of this silly work around. Cheers!

In Yahoo mail, you select all, right click on any one/move to/pick folder.

Not your fault, but this is a ridiculously convoluted way to have to bulk move some messages.

I've been trying to figure out how to do this shit for OMG! Thank you!! ❤❤❤❤

Straightforward but bit of a pain. Labels take some getting used to. I'm used to the Outlook Mail Rule feature that seems more intuitive. You create the rule and apply it. Using the "Archive" term is misleading. It makes you want to look for an Archive folder.

Is it possible to DRAG and Drop Conversations from a multiple Inbox to a Different Multiple Inbox label?
