But I keep the emails and leave them unread…

My wife is the former. I am the latter. I get too much junk. I go through my inbox a few times a day, read what looks important, and ignore the rest. I have 2,174 unread emails in my inbox and a folder called “auto junk” with 5,116 in it.

I like keeping the unread count low, but I get so many junk notification emails at work I’ve given up on checking.

See if your email provider lets you whitelist addresses. Every known sender goes to inbox, ask the rest to trash. Great for keeping things tidy and helping to sniff out fake emails from eboy.

Unsubscribe and/or block is a good friend

Is there a way to delete all emails from a single address at once in Gmail? That would help a lot for me.

Yes, filter by sender, select all, delete

Pro tip: the checkbox at the top of the column only selects the first page worth (100 messages). You have to click that and then also click the “select all N messages?” link that appears.
