How to send certain mails in labels in gmail

You can use Gmail's filters and labels to automatically send certain emails to specific labels. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Create a filter

  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. Enter the criteria for the filter, such as:
    • "From" a specific sender
    • "To" a specific recipient
    • "Subject" containing specific keywords
    • "Has attachment" or "Does not have attachment"
    • "Size" of the email
    • And more...
  6. Click "Create filter."

Step 2: Apply the label

  1. In the "Create filter" window, click on the "Apply the label" dropdown menu.
  2. Select the label you want to apply to the filtered emails. You can create a new label by clicking on "New label" and entering the label name.
  3. Click "Create filter."

Step 3: Send the labeled emails to another label

  1. Go back to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  2. Find the filter you created in Step 1 and click on the three vertical dots next to it.
  3. Select "Edit filter."
  4. In the "Edit filter" window, click on the "Apply the label" dropdown menu.
  5. Select the label you want to send the emails to.
  6. Click "Save changes."

Example scenario

Let's say you want to send all emails from a specific sender (e.g., "[email protected]") to a label called "John's emails".

  1. Create a filter with the criteria "From: [email protected]".
  2. Apply the label "John's emails" to the filtered emails.
  3. Send the labeled emails to another label, say "Important emails".

Now, whenever an email is received from "[email protected]", it will be automatically labeled as "John's emails" and also sent to the "Important emails" label.
