To archive or delete all emails from selected email addresses, you can use the Scrub option.

To scrub emails from one sender:

  1. Right-click any email from the desired sender whose emails you wish to archive or delete.

  2. Select Scrub from the menu list.

  3. In the alert that appears, choose between Archive or Delete.


Notes:

  • After bulk archiving emails, they will be moved to the All Archived view. You can access them under Views in the folder pane or by clicking the Filter icon and selecting Archived from the menu list.

  • After bulk deleting emails, they will be moved to the Trash folder. Emails in the Trash folder will be permanently deleted after 30 days.

  • You can only bulk delete emails from the Spam and Trash folders; archiving them in bulk isn't possible.

To scrub emails from multiple senders:

  1. Multi-select emails from the desired senders by clicking the sender's image or the hollow circle.

  2. Select Scrub in the detail view. Sometimes, the Scrub option will be listed under the More menu list when space is limited in the detail view.

  3. An alert will appear, displaying all the email addresses selected. If you've selected more than five senders, it will display them all, letting you choose up to any five of your choice.

  4. Once ready, choose between Archive or Delete.


Notes:

  • When you scrub emails in a Tag or a View, emails from all folders from the selected email addresses will be scrubbed.

  • If you're scrubbing from a specific folder, only the emails in that folder will be archived or deleted. Emails from the same sender in other folders will not be affected.

  • Bulk archiving or deleting is restricted in the following folders and views: Templates folder, Drafts folder, Outbox folder, Shared folders, All Inboxes, Saved Searches, and Search Results.
