How gmail send mail only inbox

By default, Gmail sends emails to the "Inbox" folder. However, there are a few ways to configure Gmail to send emails to a specific folder or label:

Method 1: Using the "Send & Archive" feature

1. Go to your Gmail settings (gear icon) > See all settings.
2. Click on the "General" tab.
3. Scroll down to the "Send & archive" section.
4. Check the box next to "Send & archive" to enable this feature.
5. From now on, when you send an email, it will be automatically archived in the "All Mail" folder.

Method 2: Using labels

1. Create a new label by clicking on the "Labels" tab in your Gmail settings.
2. Name the label (e.g., "Only Inbox").
3. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
4. Click on "Create a new filter".
5. Enter the label name in the "To" field.
6. Click "Create filter".
7. From now on, when you send an email, you can apply the "Only Inbox" label to it.

Method 3: Using filters

1. Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab in your Gmail settings.
2. Click on "Create a new filter".
3. Enter the criteria for the filter (e.g., "To: [your email address]").
4. Click "Create filter".
5. In the "Apply the label" section, select the "Only Inbox" label.
6. Click "Create filter".

Method 4: Using a third-party add-on

There are several third-party add-ons available that can help you send emails to a specific folder or label. For example, you can use the "Gmail Labels" add-on to create custom labels and apply them to emails.

Please note that these methods may have some limitations or side effects, such as:

• Method 1: Send & Archive may not work if you have multiple accounts or labels.
• Method 2: Labels may not be visible in the inbox or may be lost if you delete the label.
• Method 3: Filters may not work if you have multiple filters with the same criteria.
• Method 4: Third-party add-ons may require additional setup or may have limitations.

It's always a good idea to test these methods in a test environment before applying them to your production account.
