While I wait for Zooomr to launch, I thought I’d see if I can make my Gmail inbox a nicer place to be.
A quick Google search later, and I’ve got some hints and tips to look at. One of which is “Use a search term like ‘before:2007/01/01 label:sent’ to find everything before a certain date”. Which is great – I could destroy all mail before the beginning of this year. But that’s not really what Gmail is about, is it?
I’m currently using half of Gmail’s limit, so I’m not in danger of running out of space, but despite that it pains me to see such an untidy repository. I’d like to purge all the crap I don’t need, but I don’t know how best to sort the crap from the things I want to hold on to. I’d quite like to create a Google Apps for Domains Premiere account and use that, but there’s no client-based mobile access for GAfD. Yet.
I think I’m just going to have to start deleting anything I don’t want as it comes in, but be lenient with the “don’t want” classification. I just don’t seem to be able to find an ideal way to tidy up Gmail…
Until Gmail comes out with mobile access to GAfD, you can use gmail mobile, a 3rd party program that works on ANY phone. No downloads, no POP3 setup, full synchronization with your account, and more features than Gmail for Mobile or the Gmail App. Best of all, it works for all Gmail, Googlemail, Google, and GAfD accounts. An added bonus is that you can store common or complicated searches for use later for one-click searching! Great for cleaning your account a few messages at a time or when you just have a couple of minutes free time.
