I also deleted very old emails. To find your oldest email, click All emails On the left, and then on the upper right, click the page that appears to see the oldest rather than the latest. Select all emails on the screen and delete them as needed, click each page of each email for more information. You can also use “old_than” to search operators; type “oper_than:1y” in the search bar to view all emails for more than a year. Try “old_than:2y”, and so on. (Gemini Bot might also help you find old emails here; if you like chat style search, shoot it.)
For me, Gmail runs faster after deleting large files and tags and deleting thousands of old emails.
Another fix is related to the files you view in your inbox. This is the basic rule of computing, especially in web-based applications: displaying less information on the screen means that the app doesn’t need to work hard. go settingsThen View all settings. Look for the pop-up window next to it Maximum page size And select a lower number, such as 25. I found that this setup does help even in old, clumsy Gmail accounts a few years ago.
cache
I want to do more and I’d love to clear the browser cache, which is a comprehensive solution for speeding up network performance. For every site you visit, files and settings are stored locally and over time they can slow down the browser. However, the downside of clearing cache is that you will lose all saved sessions and you have to log in to all websites, not just Gmail. Instead, it is best to clear Gmail’s cache.
This may sound heavy, but it sounds easier than it sounds: to clear a site’s cache, go to that site first (in our case, gmail.com). Then, in Chrome, press F12 (or go view > Developers > Developer Tools) propose developer tools. Click application On the top tab, click Clear site data. This really speeded up for me, even not only deleting large files and tags. I was cooking on gasoline, but I felt that things could still be faster.
restart
It’s a more dramatic solution, but it works surprisingly. A few years ago, I switched my Gmail address because my old account was too clogged. I first used a new Gmail inbox that was savvy and trimmed. It feels like buying a brand new car. The downside, of course, is that you have to let everyone know your new email address. This is easier than you think.
After creating a new Gmail address, go back to your old address. In Gmail, go settings Then click View all settingsand scroll down to Vacation Responders. You are spending a permanent holiday from a clogged email, so set the date range to run year-round. Type a message about how to change your email and include a new email address.
You can also forward all incoming messages to your new inbox. Click Forward and pop-up/IMAP On the top tab, then enter a new forward email. Gmail may prompt you to verify from another device to confirm that it is indeed you. Then, click continue. Gmail will also send a confirmation email to your old email. In your old account, click the confirmation link.
You all set it up! When they email your old account, everyone will be notified and you will receive incoming emails in your new account.
Whether you follow these tips to make an older Gmail account liven up, or start with a new one, the good news is that either way, you’ll notice acceleration. Even my old Gmail account is now faster than ever.
