Now, any new emails from the specified email address or domain will be automatically categorized as "Primary" and appear in your inbox. This will help you quickly identify and prioritize important messages.

Filtering Emails by Gmail Folder

Gmail allows you to create custom folders, also known as labels, to organize your emails. Here's how you can filter your emails by Gmail folder:

1. Open your Gmail account and go to the Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner.

7. Click on the "Labels" icon (it looks like a tag) above your emails.
8. Select the newly created label from the dropdown menu.

Now, the selected emails will be moved to the specified Gmail folder. You can access this folder anytime from the left sidebar under the "Labels" section. This feature helps you keep your inbox organized and decluttered.

By filtering your emails both by inbox and Gmail folder, you can efficiently manage your messages and stay on top of your communication. Whether it's prioritizing important emails in your inbox or categorizing them into specific folders, Gmail offers powerful tools to streamline your email management process.
