Mail

Filters & rules

Filters sort your mail for you. Set a rule once and every matching message that arrives is filed, starred or marked automatically.

Create a filter

Open Settings → Filters and add a new filter. Give it a condition, then an action.

Settings → Filters — one rule, condition to action.

• Condition — match on sender, recipient, subject or text.
• Action — move to a folder, apply a label, star, or mark as read.

How they run

Filters apply to new mail as it arrives, in order. Keep more specific rules above broad ones so the right one wins.
