Gmail – How to mark all emails as read on a certain label with several sub labels

gmailgmail-labels

How can I mark all emails as read on a certain label with several sub labels in Gmail? I have a label, say Projects, with several sub-projects, like ProjectA ProjectB, ProjectC underneath it.

Is there a simple way to mark all emails under Projects to be marked as Read?

Best Answer

select the label, in the search bar, it will show label:mylabel - add label:unread and search.

select all messages by ticking the top left checkbox

if there are more unread messages than can be displayed, a small notice will appear above the first message in the search results - you want to select all messages which match the search.

now you can click the 'more' button and select the 'mark as read' option.
