Confocal listserv in gmail

A very specific question!

To set up a Confocal listserv in Gmail, you'll need to create a new label and use Gmail's filtering feature to automatically apply that label to emails from the listserv. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Create a new label

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
  3. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  4. Click on "Create a new filter."
  5. In the "From" field, enter the email address of the Confocal listserv (e.g., [email protected]).
  6. Click "Create filter."

Step 2: Apply the label

  1. In the "Create filter" window, select "Apply the label" and choose the label you just created (e.g., "Confocal").
  2. Click "Create filter."

Step 3: Verify the filter

  1. Go back to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  2. Look for the filter you just created and click on the "Edit" button next to it.
  3. Verify that the filter is set up correctly and the label is applied to emails from the Confocal listserv.

Step 4: Use the label to organize your emails

  1. Go to your Gmail inbox and click on the "Confocal" label to view all emails from the listserv.
  2. You can also use the label to create a custom folder or archive emails from the listserv.

That's it! Your Confocal listserv emails should now be automatically labeled and organized in your Gmail account.
