Elliot B. Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Is it possible to create a rule in Gmail that automatically moves e-mail containing a certain word into a certain folder, like you can in Windows Live Hotmail? www3000 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted January 21, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2010 That can be done. Settings > Filters > Create a new filter > In the 'Has the words' box, type the words you want > Next Step ? > In the 'Apply the label' dropdown choose the label you want to apply > Create Filter. www3000 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That appears to simply apply a label to the e-mail, therefore allowing it to appear in the label-folder. However, it doesn't seem move it from the Inbox, just 'copies' it to the label-folder. www3000 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check 'Skip the Inbox (Archive it)'. www3000 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
