I also deleted very old emails. To find your oldest emails, click on Every post On the left, then on the top right click on the displayed pages to see the oldest instead of the latest. Select all emails on the screen and delete them as needed by clicking on each page of emails to view more. You can also use the “older” search engine; Type “old_than: 1Y” in the search bar to view all emails more than a year. Try “older_han: 2y” and so on. (The Gemini-Bot may also be able to help find older emails here; give it a shot if you prefer chat search.)
For me, after removing large files and tags, and removing thousands of old emails, Gmail ran noticeably faster.
One other solution has to do with how many files you see in your inbox. It is a basic rule of computing, especially in web-based programs: showing less information on the screen means that the app does not need to work so hard. Go to Settingsso See all settings. Look for the pop next to Maximum page size And choose a lower number, say 25. I found that this setting helped even in an older, awkward Gmail account of years ago.
Cache
I wanted to do more, and I was tempted to empty my browser cache, which is a captured solution to speed up online performance. For every site you visit, files and settings are stored locally, and as those things grow over time, they can slow down your browser. It is a disadvantage to empty the cache, however: you will lose all your stored sessions and you will have to log into all your websites, not just Gmail. Instead, it is better to empty the cache only for Gmail.
This might look wave, but it’s easier than it sounds: to empty the cache for one site, first go to that site (in our case, gmail.com). Then, in Chrome, press F12 (or go to Sight > Developer > Elaborate tools) to publish the developers. Click the Application tab at the top, and click on Clear website data. This really spit things for me, even more than delete big files and tags. I cooked with gas, but I felt that things could still be faster.
Start
This is a more dramatic solution, but it’s amazing how well it works. A few years ago, I changed Gmail addresses because my old account was too stuck. I started again with a new gmail box that was sprinkled and cut. It felt to buy a whole new car. Of course, the disadvantage is that you need to notify everyone about your new email address. That’s easier than you think.
After creating the new Gmail address, go back to your old one. In Gmail, go to Settings and click on See all settingsthen scroll down to the Holiday respondent. You take a permanent holiday from your stuffed email, so set the date range to work all year long. Type a message about how you change emails, and include the new email address.
You can also forward all incoming messages to the new information box. Click the Forwarding and pop/IMAP tab at the top, and type a new forward -e -mail. Gmail may encourage you to control another device to confirm that it really is you. Next, click on Proceed. Gmail will also send a confirmation email from the new email address to your old one. In your old account, click on this confirmation link.
You are all arranged! Everyone will be notified when they will email your old account, and you will receive incoming emails in your new account.
Whether you follow these tips to deliver an older Gmail account or restart with a new one, the good news is that you will notice speed in any case. Even my old Gmail account is now faster than ever.
