Do you have a cluttered inbox with too many emails to manage? Do you want to organize your emails automatically? If yes, then creating a rule in Gmail can be a great solution for you. In this post, we will show you how to set up a rule in Gmail to move emails automatically.
First, go to your Gmail account and open your inbox. Identify the emails that you want to move to a particular folder. For example, let’s say you want to move all the emails from Indeed to a specific folder. Copy the sender’s email address and paste it into the search bar in Google.
After clicking on the search option, click on the arrow pointing downward and paste the sender’s email address in the “From” field. You can customize your search by filtering out specific people, subject lines, or words in the email. You can also select the size of the email that you wish to move automatically.
Once you have set the filter criteria, click on “Create Filter.” Gmail will ask for confirmation, and you should click “OK” to continue. The next step is to apply the rule. You can choose to mark the email as read, skip the inbox, or apply a label. In this post, we will focus on moving the email to a particular folder.
To create a new folder, click on “Apply Label” and choose the “Create New Label” option. Type in the name of the label and select the “Nest Label Under” option to ensure that all new emails will be automatically directed to the folder. In this example, we created a folder called “Indeed” and nested it under the “Carrier” option.
Once you have created the label, click on “Create Filter” to activate the rule. You can check if the folder is created by expanding the “Carrier” option and verifying that the new folder is listed under it. Please note that the rule will only be applicable to new emails that meet the filter criteria.
In conclusion, setting up a rule in Gmail can be a lifesaver if you have a lot of emails to manage. By following the steps outlined in this post, you can create a rule to move emails automatically to a particular folder. This will save you time and help you stay organized.
