After 20+ years using Gmail, I found a way to easily deal with regular email notifications where only the latest one is relevant:

I created a filter that applies a "Deletable" tag to any message matching the search parameter:

subject:("phrase in subject 1" OR "phrase in subject 2" OR "... )

Now if I haven't cleared out notifications in a few days, I can just pull up messages with the "Deletable" tag, bulk select, and delete. (Similarly for "Archivable")

PS: Anyone who suggests using the default Gmail layout that splits the inbox into AI-filtered "promotions", etc., is liable to get blocked.

@Centretowner I want to stop using the auto-sorting gmail thing but I'm so used to it that I'm loathe to turn it off now.

@Centretowner That can be automated using a Google Apps Script.

@EMDiscussions ooh, good point! Even better!

I don't think I've used Google App Scripts since before snoozing emails was integrated into Gmail.
