# How to Mark All Emails as Read in Gmail

You can mark all unread emails as read in Gmail using a simple search filter and bulk action. Changes sync automatically to any email client connected to your Gmail account.

[Missive](https://missiveapp.com) is a collaborative email app that syncs with Gmail. When you mark emails as read in Gmail, the changes are reflected in Missive automatically. You can also use Missive's bulk actions to mark multiple conversations as read directly.

## Steps to mark all emails as read in Gmail

1. Open [Gmail](https://mail.google.com) in your browser
2. In the search bar, type `is:unread` and press Enter
3. Click the **Select All** checkbox (top-left of the email list)
4. Click **Select all conversations that match this search** (the blue link that appears)
5. Click the **Mark as read** button (envelope icon)

All your unread emails will now be marked as read.
