So, why would you want to create rules in Gmail to filter your emails in the first place?
Gmail rules also known as Gmail filters could save you an enormous amount of time — instead of deleting or labeling emails one by one, you can just set up a bunch of email filters (or rules) to automatically archive, delete, label, star, etc. all emails matching your criteria including the future ones.

For instance, you can create a Gmail filter rule to apply a certain label to a very specific sender, like emails from your boss, or important customers. Alternatively, you may want to set up a filter to flag incoming emails you never want to miss. There is an ocean of options, and here we'll be happy to show you two methods of how to create Gmail rules to filter your emails.

– – – Method # 1 – – –
Create rules in Gmail to filter your emails:
1) Log in to your Gmail account from the desktop.
2) Click the Show Search Options button on the right side of the search box.
3) Specify your search criteria and click Search. Your Google mail filter will apply to all emails matching your criteria.
4) Verify that your search criteria produce the results you desire.
5) Click the Show Search Options button again and choose the Create filter option.
6) Specify what you want to happen to messages that match your criteria.
7) Click the Create filter button one last time.

Although using Gmail's built-in filter emails feature is completely free, managing rules there could be a bit strenuous since you need to navigate through the Settings menu a lot. Besides, the filter rules settings mentioned are only available on the desktop.

However, there are third-party apps like Clean Email, for example, that allow you to simplify the whole process and easily create and manage Gmail rules on both— desktop and mobile devices at any time. Additional Clean Email features like Unsubscriber, Block, Privacy Guard, and others (which are not available in Gmail) could improve your decluttering and email organizing experience and help you always keep your Inbox squeaky clean.

– – – Method # 2 (✔ Recommended) – – –
Let's see how you can automatically label all emails from a specific sender with Clean Email:

2) Once in the Inbox folder, select any message from the sender whose messages you want to label. All other emails from the same sender will be selected as well.
This is a great way to mark important messages, for example. I’m going to mark a message from an important client.
3) Click the Label button on the top action bar and choose the desired label (from your labels created in your Gmail account). Alternatively, you can create a new label and choose it.
4) Select to apply the rule to selected and future similar emails.
5) Click Create.

Voila! Clean Email does the job more effectively and with just a few clicks!

Hi! Can I make the rule "only send this auto reply to a sender who has not been sent this auto-reply before"?... Or something of the sorts?

Hello again, followed your help last time and it worked like a charm. Can you please tell me, is there a way I can set up a filter so that I can delete emails from one individual Label as of a certain date. Say for instance: Label Name delete emails before December 31, 2022. Many thanks for your time and help!

Great video, can you please tell me, is there a method I can use to move emails from a specific sender to a label of my choice? I have a Label called General, however emails I received from a specific person I want to move to their own Label which I have created. There are years of emails from this person so doing this one by one would be very labor intensive. Thanks for any advice you can offer. Much appreciated..!

I've applied the filter "Apply label" and while it works, it is still sent to my inbox. Am I doing something wrong here?
