Create rules to filter your emails

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

Create a filter

Important: When you create a filter to forward messages, only new messages 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.

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

Tip: If you manage multiple calendars, or receive a high volume of invitation emails, you can create custom Gmail filters to organize, label, or archive specific types of calendar updates. For example, you can search for RSVP declines with notes and archive routine accepted invitations. Learn how to filter and organize Calendar notifications in Gmail.
