Bulk archive all conversations in personal Inbox (Inbox Zero button?)
Phil Langlois
Missive currently allows bulk archiving of emails from connected email accounts, but there’s no way to quickly clear out your entire personal Inbox, which often includes conversations from non-email sources like SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, or threads where you’ve been @mentioned.
This makes it difficult to achieve “Inbox Zero” when your Inbox contains hundreds or even thousands of lingering conversations that aren’t tied to any owned email account. A one-click “Archive All” for the personal Inbox (regardless of channel) would help users reclaim focus and clean up more efficiently.

With some control over conversation age (e.g. archive all older than x date).

Emptying inbox - bulk archive

Hi, is it possible to delete all emails in the inbox and not just 50 at a time?

As of Aug 2023, the maximum seems to be 100, but only if 100 are visible in the UI. It would be helpful if ctr+a would select all conversations in the folder/view/search (not only the visible conversations) to perform bulk actions. To help with performance, limit to first 1000-10000 and run in the background.
Thanks,

As you noticed, the Missive interface isn’t well suited for mass-archive actions at the moment. You can email us at support@missiveapp.com and ask us to archive your emails older than date X in email account(s) A, B, C, etc.

Rafael Masson: Thank you for the proposal. This time I've done it manually (with good music it works!) but next time i'll surely do it the way you said. Are you thinking of implementig mass-archive actions any time soon?

Antoine Gros: This isn’t a priority for us at the moment.
