Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks, I didn't know I could use the seach function like that. It is helpful. WHY can't I just delete things!?!?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, that's almost like linux geeks wrote it...

Sophia,

in some ways, I'd advise you to make a category for all that you do not want to delete and then delete everything else.

See, I sort of did that already, but I can't figure out how to delete everything NOT labeled something, only things that ARE labeled.

I have gotten down to about 3000, so not so terrible now!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is there a way to copy-paste with an iphone? I'm getting used to the keyboard but I can't figure out how to ok!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Not yet, Jessica.

Somehow that functionality was not ready, or simply overlooked.

I doubt it will be long before it gets added to an update.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sophia,

-in:inbox is how you identify all messages not in the inbox.

I have a label called z-done. If I want to identify all messages that aren't z-done, I'd type:

-label:z-done

Coding and Sleeping

Hey now, being a Linux geek myself I can tell you that Linux gmail design is unfair. Not only would there be a command line version with 500 options, there would also be a brown GNOME version with two buttons and no features and a blue KDE version with 10,000 configuration options.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

there would also be a brown GNOME version with two buttons and no features and a blue KDE version with 10,000 configuration options.

Yeah, I considered the Linux GUIs, but technically they're not actually part of Linux. Or something.

I suppose then there'd also be a port of the Linux gmail to OS X that would require X11 - and a dozen other things you'd have to install before compiling it....
