But those emails accumulate and obstruct the rest of your inbox!!  I tried searching for <em>facebook<\/em> but that returned a bunch of legitimate emails and chats that mentioned facebook, and that I did not want to delete.  Then I tried the following term:<\/p>\n<p><em>from=facebook<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Genius.  Thanks, Google.  Go through and make sure all the emails aren&#8217;t important, then click <em>Select: <strong>All<\/strong><\/em>, and click <strong>Delete<\/strong>.

This can all be accessed using the &#8220;Help&#8221; link located in the top-right of your gmail screen.<\/p>\n<p>This should be easier in a dedicated client, of course, like Mozilla Thunderbird or something: just sort by sender.
