You certainly want to address phone calls before your FaceBook inbox. This is why I keep having multiple email addresses, that I try to keep matching different activities & "networks". When I go to any one email inbox, I more or less know what to expect there, how much priority I'm going to give it, and what is the best moment for looking at it. Well, that sounds great at first, but it's still very difficult to keep those address books from overlaping. Ideally, we would have only one email address, we would be able to separate our contacts into a few categories, and the inbox would have a tab for each category. Some categories would deserve to be emptied with care, while others would not require the same kind of attention, at least not at the same time.</p> The more open the network (in this case, your address book), the more casual messages flow in.

Gmail inbox select all works!

Gmail selects the first 100 messages, and then asks you if you want to select all the other (not visible) ones.

Now go empty that darn inbox, kid ;-)

I don't exactly remember how, but there's a way around that. Doesn't it ask you if you want to do "the thing" (here, "archive") on all the other conversations too? Or maybe you could tell your inbox to show 5000 e-mails per page...</p> <p>Let me go try on one of my junk e-mail addresses and get back to you.</p> Hmm… I don’t exactly remember how, but there’s a way around that.

This won't work for me. I've got 26066 e-mails in my GMail inbox. You can only "select all" on a maximum of 100 (the max that's visible). That would mean going through 261 pages and doing that two-click-archiving on each... Gonna take all night.</p> Uh. This won’t work for me. I’ve got 26066 e-mails in my GMail inbox.
