How to use

  1. Open the console (right click + Inspect, ctrl/cmd + i)
  2. Paste the code above

Execution logic

  1. clicks the button to select all emails
  2. clicks the button to mark them as read or move them to trash (see action)
  3. clicks the button to next page
  4. wait for elements to load (loadingTime)
  5. go to 1.

Stopping

  1. The script auto-stops when there's no "Next" page
  2. Stop manually by executing clearInterval(interval) in the console
  3. Refreshing the page will also stop everything

Customization

  1. loadingTime is the time the code will wait after clicking the "Next" button. Increase if your internet is slower
  2. action is the action to perform: it can be either "markAsRead" or "moveToTrash"
