Key Takeaways

Gmail uses labels instead of traditional folders to organize and categorize your emails.
Auto-sort emails by right-clicking a message, selecting Find emails from sender, and clicking Create filter via the Advanced Search menu.
Select Skip the Inbox (Archive it) and Apply the label in your filter settings to automatically route specific emails out of your main view.
Check Also apply filter to matching conversations during setup to retroactively move previously received emails into your new label.
Edit or delete existing automation rules at any time by navigating to See all settings and clicking the Filters and blocked addresses tab.
The Gmail mobile app lacks filter settings, so you must open the desktop version of Gmail on your phone's browser to manage rules on mobile.
To fully master your email workspace, take the next step and learn how to clean up your Gmail inbox the SMART way.
