How to mails skip inbox and reach folder

There are several ways to make emails skip the inbox and reach a specific folder in your email client or server. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Using a filter or rule

Most email clients and servers allow you to create filters or rules that automatically sort incoming emails into specific folders. Here's how to do it:

• Gmail: Go to Settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses > Create a new filter. Enter the criteria for the emails you want to skip the inbox and move to a specific folder. Click "Create" and then select the folder you want to move the emails to.
• Outlook: Go to File > Manage Rules & Alerts > New Rule. Select "Move messages from someone to a folder" and specify the folder you want to move the emails to.
• Yahoo Mail: Go to Settings > Filters > New Filter. Enter the criteria for the emails you want to skip the inbox and move to a specific folder. Click "Save" and then select the folder you want to move the emails to.

Method 2: Using a forwarding address

You can set up a forwarding address that forwards emails from a specific sender or with a specific subject to a specific folder. Here's how to do it:

• Gmail: Go to Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Add a forwarding address. Enter the email address you want to forward emails from and select the folder you want to move the emails to.
• Outlook: Go to File > Manage Rules & Alerts > New Rule. Select "Forward messages to a person or distribution list" and specify the email address you want to forward emails from and the folder you want to move the emails to.
• Yahoo Mail: Go to Settings > Filters > New Filter. Enter the criteria for the emails you want to forward and select the folder you want to move the emails to.

Method 3: Using a third-party email client or plugin

There are several third-party email clients and plugins that allow you to automate email sorting and forwarding. Here are a few examples:

• Sanebox: A third-party email client that uses machine learning to sort and prioritize your emails. You can set up custom filters to move emails to specific folders.
• Boomerang: A plugin for Gmail and Outlook that allows you to schedule emails to be sent at a later time or automatically move emails to specific folders.
• SaneBlackHole: A plugin for Gmail that allows you to automatically move emails from specific senders or with specific subjects to a specific folder.

Method 4: Using a server-side filter

If you have access to your email server, you can set up a server-side filter to automatically sort incoming emails into specific folders. Here's how to do it:

• Postfix: A popular open-source email server that allows you to set up custom filters using regular expressions.
• Exim: Another popular open-source email server that allows you to set up custom filters using regular expressions.
• Microsoft Exchange: A commercial email server that allows you to set up custom filters using the Exchange Management Console.

Remember to always test your filters and forwarding rules to ensure they are working as expected and not causing any issues with your email delivery.
