Auto move mail from inbox to folder in gmail
You can use Gmail's filters to automatically move emails from your inbox to a folder. Here's how:
Method 1: Using Gmail's Filter
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
- Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Click on "Create a new filter."
- Enter the criteria for the filter, such as:
- "From" a specific sender or domain
- "Subject" contains specific keywords
- "Has attachment" (if you want to move emails with attachments)
- Click "Create filter."
- In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "New label" and create a new label (folder) or select an existing one.
- Click "Apply" to apply the filter.
Method 2: Using Gmail's Search and Move
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Search for the emails you want to move using the search bar. You can use keywords, sender, recipient, subject, etc.
- Click on the "More" menu and select "Move to" and then select the folder you want to move the emails to.
- Click "Move" to move the selected emails to the folder.
Method 3: Using Gmail's API and Third-Party Scripts
If you're comfortable with coding, you can use Gmail's API and third-party scripts to automate the process. For example, you can use a script like Zapier or IFTTT to move emails from your inbox to a folder based on specific criteria.
Tips and Variations
- You can also use Gmail's "Snooze" feature to temporarily move emails from your inbox to a folder and then have them return to your inbox after a set period of time.
- If you have multiple filters set up, you can use Gmail's "Filter actions" feature to specify what happens to emails that match multiple filters.
- You can also use Gmail's "Labels" feature to categorize emails and then use filters to move emails from your inbox to a folder based on their labels.
