TIP: Use the "Inbox Sweeper" action to get a fresh start on your inbox

Sometimes, your inbox gets away from you, and it’s nice to clear out older items you know you are not likely to process and get things back under control.

The Inbox Sweeper is an example action that can archive older drafts from your inbox to get a clean start.

To use:

  • Install the Inbox Sweeper from the Action Directory by clicking the “Install” link on a device with Drafts installed.
  • Run the action.
  • Select a date. Any drafts in the inbox older than the selected date will be archived. The action defaults to one month ago.
  • Optionally, add a tag to assign the drafts as they are archived.
  • “Continue”. You will get an additional confirmation prompt telling how many drafts would be archived before the action completes.

Will I still be able to access flagged drafts that fit into the date range that I use (I have a handful of drafts that I want to keep on hand and a couple go back a few years).

The flagged tab shows flagged drafts regardless of whether they are in the inbox or archive. You have explicitly unflag them to remove them.

Thank you for clarifying that.
