Mute Conversations
What This Does
Muting removes a conversation from your inbox and silences future notifications—even as others keep replying.
Why It's Useful
Company-wide reply-all storms destroy focus. Mute lets you opt out without leaving the thread permanently.
How to Do It
- Open the thread → More (three dots) → Mute
- Or press M with shortcuts enabled
- Muted threads stay under All Mail and remain searchable
- Unmute from the same menu when you need updates again
Try This Now
Mute a noisy thread and confirm it leaves your inbox.
Mental Hook: Mute = out of inbox, out of mind.
