If you're part of an email conversation that's no longer relevant to you, but is still seeing a lot of activity, you can mute it so that you don't keep getting notifications from it.
Mute an Email Conversation
- Select an email conversation.
- Click the More actions ? button on the toolbar.
- Select Mute.
The conversation is muted. It moves out of your inbox, and any more messages that arrive as part of it will skip your inbox entirely.
View a Muted Conversation
Muted conversations will still be accessible in All Mail.
- Click the All Mail category in the left pane.
You can also search for “is:muted” in the Search field.
All of your mail is now listed, whether it's in the inbox or not. Any muted conversation is marked with a Muted tag.
Unmute an Email Conversation
If you’ve muted a conversation by mistake, or are just taking interest in it again, you can unmute it.
- Select a muted email conversation.
- Click the More actions ? button on the toolbar.
- Select Unmute.
The conversation is unmuted, although it remains only visible in All Mail view until you move it back to the Inbox, or until a new message in it arrives.
