Why @WinnDixie do I need to "Activate" any/all @PlentiRewards Offers manually?? Just make it automatic! +YES to ALL+ This is tedious & dumb.

How To Delete Gmail Older Than X-number of Years

Recently I had the opportunity to help a friend that was approaching the space-limit for his Gmail account. He needed a quick way to delete all email older than three years old. Google has made this really easy. In the search bar, type older_than:3y


And this will display all email older than that date. You can simply check the [_] all box, and the link to select all conversations that match this and trash them.

This might take a few minutes if you have a LOT of mail that needs to be filtered through. But be patient and let it finish.

Then go to your Trash label, and check the [_] all box, and the link to select all conversations that match this and [Delete Forever] them.


UPDATE (20190513): You can also search based on file size, so for example "older_than:7y size:10m" would search Gmail for all emails that are older_than 7 years, and larger than 10MB.

Welcome to a New Era in Messaging -- Telegram


The single unified multi-platform open-source secure multimedia Instant Messenger I've been looking for!

Welcome to:

I am extremely impressed with the design and execution of this application:

  • It truly does run on nearly every platform and is very consistent across multiple platforms.
  • Cloud Based Device Synchronization: Telegram intelligently runs on multiple devices, and knows when you've viewed a message, and clears the "new message" badge from other devices.
  • Chat on PC, Cell, Tablet, etc. and switch between them seamlessly.
  • Can be used even on WiFi only devices (like kid's phone &/or tablet)
  • Can make Voice Calls on WiFi or cell-data between Telegram clients.
  • Group chats with up to 5000 simultaneous participants
  • Voice memos in-chat.
  • Send images, documents, and files of any type. 
  • There is no need to worry about disk space on your device. With Telegram’s cloud support and cache management options, Telegram can take up nearly zero space on your phone.
  • There's no username/password to keep up with - simply sign up using a textable mobile phone and you can authenticate other devices from there.
  • It uses the wonderfully good emoji set from iOS.
  • Secure and Encrypted Communication.
  • Fastest IM client available today.
  • Telegram is FREE and Open-Source. And will stay free — no ads, no subscription fees, forever.
