Gmail, mail etc.

Does anyone happen to know about clearing the in-box? I have a lot of things I want somewhere else, but when I save them to that group and delete the in-box version, the message goes into Trash and is no longer in the second location.

I thought I'd just figure it out, but with so much going on, my brain isn't interested in figuring out the answer. Clearly research is in order.

Archiving messages is how you get them out of your inbox without deleting them.

1. Label them, if you want to. (I think that's what you mean by "saving them to a group".)
2. Select the messages individually, or go to the group/label. (You can click on the link in the green Labels box on the left, under the Quick Contacts box, and select All.)
3. In the white drop-down Action box (to the right of the Delete button), choose Archive.


That'll get it out of your inbox without deleting the messages.
