WOW! NO ONE should be permitted to buy ANY MAC computer without swearing eternal allegiance to this guy! I have used, misused, wasted, abused, spent, squandered poop loads of TIME trying to find or do stuff on an IMac - then I discover this WONDER MAN and he tells you IN ORDINARY LANGUAGE how to do so many things! What planet is he from? Why does his channel not come tattooed on Every arm that forks over thousands to the "Hi, how we doin' today??" smile vendors at the local Den of Dollars (aka - Mac store)? Many thanks, and you ARE BEING WATCHED . . . . ! Paul C
Haha thank you Paul! Cheers, sir! I can assure you that I am from Earth, and I do have an Apple logo tattoo on my upper back. If you have any video requests let me know, I can add them in the next batch!

Absolutely fantastic tip. I had 50,000+ emails and now I'm down to 3,000+ the rest feels manageable on my own! Thank you.
Awesome! :)
Deleting batches of thousands of emails, crazy we all have that many to begin with! Thanks
Super slow reply but you’re very welcome!!
Mind Blown! Thank you so much! I had 76,000+ emails and of course Google was like hey yo, your email is too full! Thank you my email is now down to 21,000!!!! I'm definitely a new fan!
GREAT tip.
I've always searched by individual companies, still very time consuming, but this is near genius!
Thanks
Thank you! Great to hear it helped.
Please Delete all these unwanted messages and emails and Videos thanks
Just deleted 52,000 emails off my moms MacBook coz she couldn’t download anything... now she thinks I’m an angel
I was trying to find a way to clean up my 70k emails in gmail and this helped so much!
Great to hear!
Omg thank you so much I almost ran out of space in my mac and iPhone because of the mail
Omg in seconds I deleted all my junk emails. Thank you so much
If your inbox is out of control and you are positive you have read all of your emails that matter, then create a new smart mail box, set condition as message is unread, and click OK. Batch delete as in the video. Then delete the smart mailbox you just created.
This actor/apple guy is getting better and more entertaining. Wonder how it would be if he presented a totally different product!?
Hey I am happy to present a different product as long as it is an Apple product! ;)
Good to hear from you Claes.

Hi, Lucas -- I just discovered your video series this morning -- looks amazing! Lots of things for me to watch and learn from about my Macbook Pro. One thing I have had endless troubles with, and have not been able to find a solution for, is deleting emails from my inbox. They just keep popping back up!!! SO FRUSTRATING and I now have over 8000 in my inbox!!! Do you have a video specifically about how to rectify this problem? I'd really appreciate your help!! Sincerely, A Poor Manitoba Teacher :)
I’m glad you found my videos!! Hello from BC. I’ve seen and fixed that exact problem… Usually just need to remove and re-add the email account from your computer. It’s usually safe but not always so if you want a hand let me know! I can do that in a half hour which is about $90 CAD. Book anytime: calendly.com/lucasmacinhome/existing-30-min
There is a way easier way just click your mailbox click the very top left of the first email like you’re gonna highlight the and just flick downwards while holding down your click it highlights everything in the box right click and hit delete
Very help full info.
Q:
Is there a way on my iPad Pro to bulk delete mail from one sender. I’ve looked to see ….can only find how to bulk delete ALL mail at one time. I just need to do this to a few repeating senders……
Thanks for any help you can suggest!😊
This is awesome! I knew there had to be a way to delete groups of emails on my mac! Thank you!!
LIFESAVER!! Thank you so much!
This is the only video that actually works
Simple brilliance. Nicely done Lucas!!! Thanks:-)
Cheers, thank you sir!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
Oh my gosh so simple but so amazing! Thank you!
You're welcome! Awesome. :)
this is genius. the funny thing is though is I don't want to unsubscribe from you!. ha!
Haha cheers, I appreciate that... it's a risk I take, giving people this tip! Sadly this doesn't actually unsubscribe from the emails; you would still need to click the unsubscribe link in the email, but at least you can see them all in one list and have them grouped together by the "biggest offenders" so you can just unsub once from that website/company then delete all the emails.
Guess I’m buying a Mac now, can’t do this on iphone
Haha yep you do need a Mac for this tip! I bet you can do it in Windows / webmail as well, though.
Thank you Lucas!!! great email hack. I subscribed!
Thank you. Great idea.
This is great, no doubt - but how do you do it on the iPhone? Please do a video on this topic!
No way that I know of!
Thank You, it was very helpful
You are so welcome!
Emails will keep coming in from those companies, though, so you need to unsubscribe also!
Yes, agreed!
This video was very helpful, thanks.
You crack me up Lucas :D Love it. I hope Apple is paying you to be their Ambassador, because evidently you are the Apple Actor Guy (see comment below.) haha
LOL I wish I got paid by Apple! That would be sweet. Cheers. :)
@@lucasmacinhome even if you got paid with product, that would be super sweet.
liked and subscribed immediately. Thank YOU!
Awesome, thank YOU!

This video saved my email's life! Thank you!
Awesome! :D
Best trick ever! Thanks
I have 89,850 emails from Facebook alone on my mac. I tried deleting them as group but it took over an hour to 'move' 20,000 of them from email to ....wherever. I know from past experience the Trash cannot hold too many items at once and I'm pretty sure 90,000 emails will overwhelm it. I have 147,000 total emails in my system and want to get rid of the majority of them. Unfortunately I have client conversations I want to retain so I can't simply wipe it clean. Any suggestions?
Hi Phoebe! If you want to delete all the Facebook emails, you could just do a search for emails "from" Facebook. I made a video about more advanced searching in email and Mac: ruclips.net/video/ZTFVxyHipW0/видео.html
You're right to be slower and more careful with that amount of email. It just takes the Mac a lot of time and work to do that. Safest if you do it in batches and wait to make sure it deletes. Or even better, if you use Gmail as your email account and Mac Mail just connects to that, you can log in to gmail.com website and delete the emails from there.
Let me know if you want a hand... just iMessage me at +1 604-786-9779

You’re amazing for this 💯💯💯
Thank you! :)
thank you mind is blown wahhhh how many decades i love you
What you show is only a very small segment of deleting emails. Bulk deleting and how to delete "all", for example emails from Gmail in "Promotions! For example someone could have 70,000 gmails in Promotion. Sometimes those emails, when performing a Bulk Delete, the gmails seem to be stuck in the Promotions folder and thus even properly performing Bulk delete, only 4.200 of 70,000 may delete and thus leaving a huge amount of 65,800 undeleted gmails?
Yeah if you have tens of thousands of emails you will need a fast Mac, and fast internet for it to go smoothly. Otherwise indeed you need to do a few thousand at a time. Better if you unsubscribe from the senders you don't want anymore, also. I can help with this in a paid consult. Just book with me from macinhome.com/booking/ anytime.

Thanks for the video but for some reason it will not show me my "unsubscribe" smart mailbox? Could there be too many emails trying to fit into the mailbox? Help!
Hi there. A very useful tip but my deleted emails keep coming back within seconds on my macbook pro. There must be a setting I can fix....any suggestions?
For iPad ,also? Chrome
This is genius, THANKS!!
Thank YOU! :)
Do you have any trick for deleting more than 15 mails in rediffmail?
ive tried many times and it doesn't work. it does say searching but stays like this.
thanks
You're welcome! :)
u saved me so many hours! thanks!
Awesome! :)
genius tip, thanks!
Cheers! :)
Any idea on how to bulk delete them without opening them?
Did you try what I recommended in the video?
Thank you so much! My only complaint is that when I delete the emails a bunch of them come right back
Depends how fast your internet is and who your email provider is. Let me know if you want a hand.
Macinhome Mac Consulting - Apple Certified Consultants Ok thank you! I figured out that there were just so many emails that it needed about an hour to go through and delete. My problem is fixed now but thank you for reaching out!
Omg thank you!!!!
You are very welcome! :)
Amazing, thx.
I have almost 12,000 emails in my iPad Pro inbox. Searching for “unsubscribe” turned up exactly three messages. They must have found a way around that method.
Yeah this tip is for Apple Mail on a Mac... but on my iPhone when I searched for "unsubscribe" and choose "all mailboxes" and just press the bottom right Search button (ie. don't tap on people or subjects search type) I got thousands of emails. So maybe it's the specifics of what options you're tapping on. But this will still be best and easiest in Apple Mail.
Genius! Thank you❣️❣️❣️
No problem 😊
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
When I click save it does not goto my smart mailbox?
Its a great way to delete them. But what of future emails, how to get rid off them permanently?
You will need to go into the email and unsubscribe! You can sort by "From" to unsubscribe from each vendor in alphabetical order.
@@lucasmacinhome That's a ton of work. But Thank you so much for your suggestion
@@tusharshivan9559 agreed there needs to be a “mass unsubscribe” option
That's my man!
MY email doesn't look like the one on the screen. i am so confused. HELP
Great tip! New to MacBook. How can I get my mail toolbar to look like yours?
Right click (two finger click on laptop, or control-click) the toolbar and "show icon and text"! :)
- Lucas
I cant find the save in my tool bar I am working on a mac book pro- where is it
Trying to do this on iPad. Hmm
How about the Hidden Email Mac saves eating up to nes of gigs of HD Space? Quick Fox pls...ty
Not sure what you mean... I would need to see your Mac. Feel free to book a one-on-one consult with me (Lucas). macinhome.com/booking/
genius 👏👏
my smart mailbox stayed empty after creating it....
Then I would bet it wasn't created quite right or there's some issue with your Mac/Mail. I can help with that one on one via screen sharing if you like. Book a consult anytime. macinhome.com/booking/
- Lucas
I love you
Doesn't this open the emails before deleting them?
Nope... if you search for them then select all and delete, it doesn't open them. The preview pane can only show one email at a time.
HELP! My Mail doesn't give me the option to save.
Sorry for the slow reply! If this is still an issue I can check that out for you in a one-on-one session. Just book into my calendar! macinhome.com/booking/
Now.....One problem is how do I edit my Block and Delete immediately in an easier way than having to search through that long list of drop boxes in Rules??? so inefficient, so hard....if you could cut n paste into excel to then search would help, but how do you do that??? fingers and forearms cramp easily. please??
I think there would be easier ways of doing that... ways that don't involve manual work. Who is your email host? If you move to GSuite or Gmail the spam filtering is much better. Then just unsubscribe from all the newsletters you want to delete.
Woo realy? Great
I have emails that "reappeared" as recovered emails.. Now what?
Ah that usually means the "delete" operation didn't finish, or maybe your internet was not fast enough where you were... they go into that recovered emails folder when Apple Mail has trouble deleting or moving them. You can delete them from there, and do the same operation again, just on fast internet... and give it a solid 30-60 mins to do the deletion if there are many emails.
@@lucasmacinhome WILL TRY!
Now they have migrated back and I have gone from 17k to 22K. Yikes
@@sufoto I've found that deleting hundreds (or more) emails at once can bog things down. I suggest doing maybe 100 at a time, at your leisure. Also, you need to unsubscribe from the companies if you don't want more to arrive in the future.
The only time I have seen this behaviour is when your internet is slow, or you don't give it enough time to do the email operation. The suggestion of doing smaller chunks is a good one!
fuck dude 10/10
does this work for windows, i ve gmail acct, and search doesn't show up in saved
What happens when you use gmail search for the word "unsubscribe" ?
I just deleted 79,200 emails from my moms old computer. And they said I put viruses on the computer and made it slow.
Who said that?
@@lucasmacinhome my parents
wow.
I agree.
I just got a second hand(used) MacBook Air from my brother. He bought a new MacBook Pro so tell me how can i make a new ID and remove all of his data. Make it like a refurbished device all new
Pls help me
You can do a google search for erasing and restoring the Mac using Recovery mode. Restart holding one of these key combos:
Command (⌘)-R
Install the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac.
Option-⌘-R
Upgrade to the latest macOS compatible with your Mac.
Shift-Option-⌘-R
Install the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
Just get to the point of deleting 1,000s not specific ones. I am getting a "loading" glitch, and just want to know how delete 1,000s, not specific ones.
Great way ty but I was searching from android phone.
Sorry! Wrong RUclips channel for that...
