Bulk deleting emails from Gmail is fine in theory, but in practice it just stalls for me like this:
Just want to select all messages with a particular label and delete them without creating a filter which I would then have to remove.
Very similar to what this user reports:
this error: "Oops.. the system encountered a problem (#502)
Except that my error code is 72830. First I select "all" messages, which is only 100, then:
All 100 conversations on this page are selected. Select all ##### conversations in "label"
I click that, then:
All ###### conversations in "label" are selected. Clear selection
then I click the trash icon to delete them, then:
Confirm bulk action This action will affect all ##### conversations in "label_here". Are you sure you want to continue?
and then I get error 72830 as in the image. Works fine for less than 10k messages, stalls above that consistently.
