Archiving Conversations
You can archive conversations, to move them out of your Inbox
without deleting them. Archived conversations are assigned the
All Mail label, and also retain any other labels you’ve assigned
to them.
Archived conversations are also included in search results.
If someone replies to a message that you’ve archived, its
conversation will be restored to your Inbox.
To Archive a conversation:
From your Inbox, touch and hold a conversation then tap
䕪
Archive in the menu that opens.
– or –
Checkmark one or a batch of conversations in your
Inbox, then tap the Archive button. (See “Working with
Conversations in Batches” on page 190.)
– or –
When reading a message, tap the Archive button at the
bottom of the screen.
The Gmail webmail service has the resources to store all the
messages you’ve ever sent or received; your device does not.
To save space, Gmail downloads only some of your messages
to your device. Use the Settings application to control how and
when applications synchronize their data. (See “Synchronizing
Accounts” on page 84.)
