|
Sep 25th, 2009 |
Creating a filter is a quick and easy way to do a number of things, such as; auto-tag messages based on who they came from, auto-archive things you don’t necessarily need to see, or auto delete messages when they come in.
To create a filter, do the following:
- Click Create a filter (next to the Search the Web button at the top of any Gmail page).
- Enter your filter criteria in the appropriate field(s).
- Click Test Search to see which messages currently in Gmail match your filter terms. You can update your criteria and run another test search, or click Next Step.
- Select one or more actions from the list. These actions will be applied to messages matching your filter criteria in the order in which the actions are listed — for example, you could choose to Forward matching messages to a specific email address, then Delete the messages.
- If you’d like to apply this filter to messages already in Gmail, select the Also apply filter to x conversations belowcheckbox.
- Click Create Filter.
Repeat the steps for each additional filter you want to create.
