- 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."
- In the "From" field, enter a keyword or phrase that's commonly used in junk mail, such as "ads," "offers," "promotions," or "spam."
- Click "Create filter."
- Choose the action you want to take with the filtered emails, such as "Apply the label" and select a label you've created (e.g., "Junk Mail").
- Click "Create."
Method 2: Use labels
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the label icon () in the upper right corner.
- Click on "New label" and enter a name for your label, such as "Junk Mail."

- Right-click on the selected emails and choose "Apply label" > "Junk Mail."
Method 3: Use third-party plugins or add-ons
There are several third-party plugins and add-ons available that can help you manage junk mail in Gmail. Some popular options include:
- SaneBlackHole: A Chrome extension that automatically moves junk mail to a designated folder.
- Unroll.me: A browser extension that helps you unsubscribe from unwanted emails and moves them to a "Junk" folder.
- Boomerang: A plugin that allows you to schedule emails to be deleted or moved to a specific folder.
Remember to always be cautious when using third-party plugins and add-ons, as they may have access to your email account and data.
By using one or a combination of these methods, you should be able to find and manage your junk mail in Gmail more effectively.
