I want to delete all the unread email which are around 30000. How can I do that on Gmail?
I have tried large delete from Trash tasks with Gmail but what it does is slow down and start to crash. It times out and Gmail is not accessible for awhile.I do not think Gmail servers can sustain large delete requests. Each delete is a request to modify your space on the web server. Web servers protect themselves from volume requests because it starts to look like a DDOS attack.After you delete your unread email, you then must delete it from Trash if you want clear Gmail folders.This is one reason for auto filter to folders. You can delete entire Gmail folders easily. I have done this to save lots of individual file deletion.Gmail needs to be set up in advance to direct your emails to folders.Direct your most important emails to named folders.My Gmail account is very old with files that are very hard to remove. (I am into safelists and other email based programs.) I now search to find what I want. But I can remove large volumes of emails by deleting folders.

How long does it take to delete 30,000 emails?
Second to hours, depending on the method and the hardware involved.I presume that you are asking about Platt River Networks, the company hired to provide the State Department with a copy of all of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails after she left the department. Those e-mails were first transferred by a State Department employee from the server in question to a MacBook laptop and also a USB thumb drive. The employee attempted to restore the e-mail over the Internet to a PRN server following the instructions of PRN tech support, but after several failed attempts ended up sending the laptop by FedEx to PRN, who restored a copy of the messages and flagged the e-mails as private or State Department business using a collection of text searches of the e-mails.PRN prepared a copy for the State Department with all the messages they deemed official messages and contacted Clinton’s staff and asked about what to do with the ones they felt were private. Clinton’s response was, “I don’t care. I don’t have a use for them anymore.” So, PRN eliminated those messages securely (technically, the process involves overwriting each message with 0’s before deleting it). This is pretty much considered best practice for deleting personal information from a computer.On a ~2010 MacBook, that procedure would take 50–250ms per message, depending on the message size. Say, about an hour.Incidentally, the State Department employed tasked with copying the data lost the USB thumb drive.Clinton herself had no direct involvement in the process (and the FBI probe found that, by all accounts, Clinton is pretty much technically illiterate and completely reliant on others to do anything involving computers).The details of all of this can be found in the FBI report, which you can download from their website: Hillary R. ClintonThe report not only exonerates Clinton of wrongdoing, but paints a terrible picture of IT at the State Department. Not only did the Secretary of State openly use a private e-mail server, but the majority of State Department employees did as well.
