Is there a way to automatically move to the first “starred” item in Gmail?

be1b03633f1a9083770874d1bc73c85c asks:

Is there a quick way to get to the first starred item? I have over 500 starred items, and scrolling down to get to the oldest item is really slow. Is there a quicker way? Thank you.

    Nice question! I found the quicker way
    here you are.

    Click this and read 451-500 starred mails:

    https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#starred/p10

    Shortened  url :http://goo.gl/kFGII

    Similarly, if you want to see 551-600 in any conversations including starred or a label
    Change p10 to p12 in the URL

    Formula of pN = upper limit/50
    (600/50= 12)
    So p12 will take you to 600th starred mail.

    Because gmail loads 50 conversation in a page.

    This is not limited to starred mail, will work in inbox, labels…everything.

      Ok, my first comment is now unnessary unless you want to reach a particular conversation. (eg. 251-300 = p6)

      Because I just noticed  the sorting option,
      Click on “1-50 of xyz” (top right)

      And select oldest.

Please wait...
