Inbox Rules, also known as Filters, are a powerful feature in Gmail that allows you to automatically sort, forward, or delete emails based on specific criteria. Here's a rundown of how to use them:

Creating an Inbox Rule:

  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 your filter in the "From" field, such as a specific sender's email address or a keyword.
  6. Choose the action you want to take for emails that match the criteria, such as "Apply the label" or "Delete it."
  7. Click "Create filter."

Examples of Inbox Rules:

  1. Automatically label emails from a specific sender: Create a filter that labels all emails from a specific sender, such as a newsletter or a friend.
  2. Forward emails to another email address: Create a filter that forwards all emails from a specific sender or containing a specific keyword to another email address.
  3. Delete spam emails: Create a filter that deletes all emails containing specific keywords or from specific senders that are likely to be spam.
  4. Move emails to a specific folder: Create a filter that moves all emails from a specific sender or containing a specific keyword to a specific folder.

Tips and Tricks:

  1. Use specific keywords: Use specific keywords to filter emails, such as a company name or a specific phrase.
  2. Use wildcards: Use wildcards (e.g., * or?) to match multiple characters or unknown characters.
  3. Use OR and AND operators: Use the OR and AND operators to combine multiple criteria for your filter.
  4. Test your filter: Before applying your filter, test it by sending a test email to yourself and verifying that it's being filtered correctly.
  5. Edit or delete filters: You can edit or delete filters at any time by going to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab and clicking on the filter you want to edit or delete.
