How to Create an Inbox Filter in Gmail
(Updated: Feb. 3, 2021, 4 a.m.)
- Open your NC State University email Inbox.
- In the Search mail box at the top, click the Down arrow.
- Enter your search criteria. If you want to check that your search worked correctly, see what emails show up by clicking Search.
- Click the Down arrow again and at the bottom of the Search window, click Create filter.
- Choose what you’d like the filter to do, then Create filter.
Note: 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.
