How To Create Gmail Filters for Email Subscriptions

Do you get a lot of email newsletters and subscriptions that clutter up your Inbox?Do you want an easy way to unsubscribe to unwanted email subscriptions?
Do you wish you could sort newsletters automatically to their own label/folder so you could read them at your own pace while keeping your Inbox clean?

About This Tutorial:

  • This tutorial will show you how to create Gmail Filters to sort all email subscriptions (newsletters, mailing lists, etc) to de-clutter your inbox and keep all your email newsletters/subscriptions under one label (folder) so you can read through them all at once and make it easy for you to unsubscribe from those you no longer read.
  • A Gmail filter allows you to set rules for incoming mail so you can tell Gmail how to handle or process certain emails when they arrive.
  • Gmail filters can apply a label, archive emails, delete, star, and/or forward incoming emails to another email address based on the rules you set (i.e; Skip the Inbox and apply the label Subscriptions for all emails that contain the word unsubscribe).
  • Gmail Filters are applied to all incoming mail. If you want to find old emails to sort and label, then you can use the search function of Gmail.
