Gmail just blew up the Internet. Such a large number no mail site provided memory for storing messages. The anti-spam system here was also organized at the highest level. And most importantly - absolutely nothing had to be paid for all these amenities.

Once in the mail interface, select the “All Mail” shortcut. Select all messages with a button with a square and a down arrow. 50 letters will be marked on the screen.
If all correspondence does not fit on one screen of the system, then you need to click on the inscription "Select all conversations." Then you need to click on the urn icon. All letters will be moved to the trash. After this, the procedure must be repeated, already in the directory for remote correspondence of the Gmail-mail service.

The Google system allows you to refuse Gmail mail services, while maintaining your account for access to the Plus social network, Youtube video hosting and other products. However, please note that after the final deletion of the mail account, it will be impossible to re-register the same address.
Go to the Gmail-mail service. it becomes clear if you go to the appropriate menu and activate the “Settings” item, then going to the “Accounts and Import” page. By clicking on the line with the inscription “Change account settings”, you will find a list of connected services. Click "Edit" in the title - and the removal options will be displayed. Here you can decide whether only access to mail will be terminated, or whether the account will be completely liquidated.
Gmail and its alternatives

However, fully replace all diverse google services so far no company from Russia or the CIS is capable. Have to put together products from different manufacturers. Many interesting opportunities today provide the portal Mail.ru. The site also has a calendar, mobile applications and with a volume significantly exceeding the resource Google Drive.
Conclusion

Data is not deleted from servers in one minute, therefore, in some cases, an account can be restored by contacting the administration in a timely manner. If there is reason to expect increased interest in the content of correspondence from foreign intelligence services, then deleting mail will be a waste of time - copies of all incriminating materials have already been made. To reliably protect the information transmitted over open communication channels, you need to use encryption. In this case, even after gaining access to messages, the attacker will not be able to decrypt them.

Comfortable work online!
Some time ago I talked about. For those who don’t remember, I remind you that the Gmail project belongs to google and is considered one of the highest quality email services in the world. Despite this, sometimes there is a need to delete your e-mail. I will tell you how to do it.
The main problem is that Google periodically changes the design of its services, respectively, the interface also changes. So, the manual for deleting a mailbox written in 2010, for example, is completely inappropriate for 2014. Take this into account and do not get confused. Perhaps this instruction, which you will read, in a few months will also become irrelevant. I hope this does not happen.
First - go to your e-mail by entering the username and password.
In the upper right part of the screen you see your login. Click on it and such a menu will appear. Click on the “Account” button.
Now we are in the account settings section. The first thing we are asked to sign up for Google+, if you have not already done so. skip this step.
Select the tab “Data Management” - “Account Management” - “Delete Account and Data”.
Finally, we get to the page where you need to confirm the deletion of the profile. Here you need to check all the boxes, enter the password for the mail and click on the big red button. Account will be deleted. It is impossible to restore it.
