If I leave my all mail folder alone, over time, that could take up quite a bit of space on my phone, especially if there are attachments of any kind.If I absolutely know I won't ever need a message again, I don't understand why I need to keep it. But then, I don't know. I have had very little experience with Gmail, before deciding to use it on my phone.

It uses flags. The all mail folder is the place where all your mail actually exists. Your best option is to leave all mail alone. Work in your folders.

I had a year’s worth and I did them one at a time. I’ll make sure to delete them more regularly after this experience! As I was looking at my folders I came across the all mail folder. There were some very odd things like test messages and texts I was trying to play around with when I first got my phone. Exactly what goes into that folder? All the other folders are self explanatory. I went ahead and deleted everything from that folder, from the drafts folder, and from the spam folder. When I went back to look at all folders, nothing was left in any of them. OOOOOOOOOOPS! However, no real harm was done since I don’t think I had anything really important stored in any of my other folders like my personal or my work folders that hasn’t been stored on my work or personal computer. Just wondering what that folder is and which emails in folders should or should not be deleted. I hope this isn’t a really stupid question. I’m Always willing to learn more.Thanks. God bless!
