You can manage incoming mail using Gmail’s filters to send email to a label, or archive, delete, star, or automatically forward your mail.

 

  1. Open Gmail.
  2. In the search box at the top, click Show search options "".
  3. Enter your search criteria. If you want to check if your search worked correctly, see what emails show up by clicking Search. 
  4. At the bottom of the search window, click Create filter.
  5. Choose what you’d like the filter to do.
  6. Click Create filter.

Note: When you create a filter to forward emails, only new emails will be affected. ​Additionally, when someone replies to a message you've filtered, the reply will only be filtered if it meets the same search criteria.
