How To Filter Gmail Messages Using Automatic Filters


How to filter Gmail messages? 
It is easy. You may use Gmail's automatic filtering tool. It is a great way to organize all your messages to avoid them getting out of control. As soon as your messages arrive, automatic filters will place them to the folders you have assigned. The steps on how to filter Gmail messages are somewhat similar to Apple Mail or Outlook. With this tool, you can filter your messages by sender, group, subject or message contents.

Here are the detailed steps on how to filter your Gmail messages: 

1. Log in to your Gmail account by going to mail.google.com

2. Go to the Settings menu by clicking on the gear icon. 


3. Click Filters tab. 

4. Click Create a new filter link found at the bottom of the Filters' page. 

5. Choose your criteria. 
Gmail can filter by sender, recipient and subject. You can also filter your incoming messages that do or do not contain certain words.

6. Click the "Create a filter with this search" link. 

7. Choose an action. 
After you have decided what message to filter, you would want to archive it, flag it as read or put a star on it, forward it to a specific address, delete it, send it to spam, and/or mark it as important.

8. Click the Create filter button. 
You may also tick on the "Also apply filter to..." option.

After following these steps on how to filter Gmail messages, your filter is finished and your inbox has been organized. If you need to change the settings, you must have to go to the Settings menu and click Filter tab. Filters can be edited or deleted at any time.

You can also apply the same filter to many senders by entering email addresses separated by OR. You no longer have to add parentheses as they are automatically added by Gmail (This is one of the reasons I love this email service.)

These steps on how to filter Gmail messages can also be applied to create unlimited filters.

  1. I am using Gmail filters since a long time. Really they work great than all other email service providers which I have used. None of other have service like this.
