| How did my email get muted? What is muted? | mute what | 9/2/09 8:15 PM | I found some of my email noted as 'muted'. What is muted? What cause these particular emails to get muted? Can the email be 'un-muted'? I looked in 'more action', 'labels', and the reply drop down of the muted emails; I found nothing that either |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | Valjean | 9/2/09 8:25 PM | Muting is gmail's version of ignoring. You can mute a conversation by selecting it, then hitting shift+m and un-mute by selecting the conversation and Moving to Inbox. It's possible you accidentally had a few conversations selected and hit the shift |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | mute what | 9/2/09 8:35 PM | Thank You Valjean. I'll check the keyboard shortcuts for other 'Gotchas'. |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | lanny.sinkin | 9/4/09 2:02 PM | I have emails appearing as muted that are already in the In Box, which seems to eliminate the option suggested for un-mute.. A shift+m makes them disappear from the In Box.. |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | Phillid3 | 9/9/09 12:46 PM | What i have found that works is to archive the email, then go to the archive and drag the email back to the inbox, at that time the email is "un-muted" |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | donaldbraman | 9/25/09 4:17 PM | I find this feature very confusing and unhelpful. The lack of an intuitive remedy for accidental muting and the inability to turn off this unwanted keyboard shortcut seems odd. What I did do was change the keyboard shortcut to ˆ (shift+option+i) so |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | gravi_t | 9/25/09 4:27 PM | - click on "Help" top right on the Gmail page - type "mute" in the search box - press Enter It can't get any more intuitive than that... |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | spicetrader | 10/19/09 10:08 PM | I don't see any value in muting. The same can be achieved with a filter that automatically archives the message. |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | brandonpan | 11/18/09 7:55 PM | Here is my way to UN-muted - Click "All Mail" to dispaly all - Button "Move" now becomes "Move to Inbox" - Check your Muted mail(s) and click "Move to Inbox" button |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | GreenEyes1952 | 12/12/09 8:30 AM | I just discovered a 'muted' email as well. I am sure I must have done that accidently, slip of the finger while keyboarding. It was not an important email so I just deleted it; however, I find it strange to have an option which can so easily be put i |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | kento | 1/17/10 8:32 AM | If an email is already in your Inbox, but appears with the "Muted" label do the following: Select and Archive the email, then go to your Archive and move the email back to the Inbox. This removed the "Muted" label for me. |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | dhelicon | 1/19/10 12:16 PM | brandonpan's answer is the one that worked for me. Keyboard short-cuts were not the problem. Mine were already turned off when this idiotic "mute" thing kicked in.. |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | baldchris | 2/9/10 8:26 PM | When did this "muting" feature appear? I tried several solutions, none worked, until "magically" one of them did. In the end, I'm not sure what worked. I suspect I muted the conversation by some inadvertant act when I was reading it on my Droid. Didn |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | bryanspoon | 5/23/10 10:49 AM | I agree - this should be able to be turned off. None of the things people mentioned worked for me. I put it as spam. Then I unmarked it in the spam folder and the 'muted' stupid thing went away. |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | colin.godfrey | 6/4/10 6:51 PM | I just discovered an important email that got muted. This seems like a stupid feature that should be disposed of. How would I find other email that might have been muted? |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | oneillb | 6/5/10 4:25 AM | Had the same problem - a conversation appeared muted (unintentionally) but remained in my inbox. Thanks to Phillid3 and kento for the "Archive-Unarchive" suggestion. (Apparentely "Move to inbox" is not available for emails in the inbox!) |
| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | Odile216 | 6/11/10 6:07 AM | I just found out a whole series of bills due in the past 3 months was muted accidentally. Google needs to remove this dangerous feature. I use other keyboard shortcuts a lot and don't want to lose all of them. I like the solution of changing this |

| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | nahamuah | 9/4/10 7:27 PM | I just found a message thread that was also muted without any action on my part.

| Re: How did my email get muted? What is muted? | pawcatuck | 12/29/10 4:28 PM | I have had many emails (like my whole inbox) muted with no action on my part. A couple months ago I was on an unsecured network and each of the emails I received during the time I was on that network disappeared (I'm guessing were also muted). I figu |

What is muted? | annarie2002 | 12/31/10 12:24 PM | This morning I also had a message muted for no apparent reason and the timing suspiciously coincides with new computer "problems" that I've encountered since yesterday out of nowhere.
