Trident Strike — Bulk Cleanup

Select and act on hundreds of emails at once. Archive, trash, label, or mark as read in seconds.

What Is Trident Strike?

Trident Strike is your bulk email operations tool. Instead of handling emails one at a time, Strike lets you select dozens or hundreds of emails and apply actions to all of them simultaneously.

How to Use Strike

  • Navigate to Trident Strike from the sidebar or use Mission Control's Strike tab
  • Your emails are displayed in a sortable, filterable list
  • Use filters to narrow down: by category, date range, sender, or read status
  • Select emails using checkboxes — use "Select All" for the entire filtered set
  • Choose your action: Archive, Trash, Mark as Read, or Apply Label
  • Confirm and execute — Strike processes all selected emails in one operation

    • Available Actions

    Archive: Moves emails out of your inbox but keeps them searchable. Best for emails you've read but might need later.

    Trash: Permanently removes emails (recoverable for 30 days in most email providers). Best for spam, outdated promotions, and irrelevant content.

    Mark as Read: Clears the unread badge without archiving. Best for notifications and FYI emails you've acknowledged.

    Apply Label: Tags emails with a custom label for organization. Best for project-based or client-based sorting.

    Best Practices

    • Start with the oldest emails: Sort by date (oldest first) and archive anything older than 90 days that you haven't acted on
    • Filter by category first: Process all newsletters at once, then all promotions, then all social notifications
    • Use "Select All" strategically: When a filter returns only emails you want to act on, Select All saves time
    • Review before executing: Always scan the selected emails before confirming a bulk action

    Strike vs. Patrol

    Strike is manual and immediate — you choose what to act on and when. Patrol is automated and recurring — you set rules that run on a schedule. Use Strike for one-time cleanups and Patrol for ongoing maintenance.
