I found this today as I was annoyed with the 7000 plus emails in my three gmail boxes. I had everything archived in less than 5 min with no repetitious clicking enjoy!

To archive all the emails in your Gmail inbox:

  1. Enter in:inbox into the search bar
  2. Press the search button or press return to run the search
  3. Click more button and select Create filter
  4. Click OK when warned that the filter will not apply to new mail
  5. Select Skip the Inbox (Archive It) and Also apply filter to X matching conversations.
  6. Click Create Filter

X in step five will show up as a number (for number of conversations to archive) and it's the last thing on the list you can check.
