How to filter read receipts mails in gmail
To filter read receipts in Gmail, you can use Gmail's built-in filters feature. Here's how:
Method 1: Using Gmail's built-in "Read Receipt" 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."
- In the "From" field, enter
read-receipt
(without quotes). - Click on "Create filter."
- In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "New label" and enter a name for the label (e.g., "Read Receipts").
- Click on "Create."
This will create a filter that applies the label "Read Receipts" to all emails with the subject "Read Receipt" or "Delivery Report" (which are typically sent by Gmail when someone opens an email).
Method 2: Using a custom 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."
- In the "Has the words" field, enter
read receipt
(without quotes). - Click on "Create filter."
- In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "New label" and enter a name for the label (e.g., "Read Receipts").
- Click on "Create."
This will create a filter that applies the label "Read Receipts" to all emails that contain the words "read receipt" in the subject, body, or headers.
Method 3: Using a third-party add-on
There are several third-party add-ons available that can help you filter read receipts in Gmail. For example:
- Boomerang: This add-on allows you to filter out read receipts and other unwanted emails.
- Sanebox: This add-on uses machine learning to filter out unwanted emails, including read receipts.
- SaneBlackHole: This add-on filters out read receipts and other unwanted emails, and also allows you to schedule emails to be sent at a later time.
To use a third-party add-on, you'll need to install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace and follow the add-on's instructions for setting up filters.
