Gmail advice

[lirazel]

I follow so many newsletters these days that they're taking over my inbox. I want to send all of them to one folder as soon as I get them. That way, I can go in and read them when I have the time without them cluttering up my inbox.

There are two ways it seems possible to go about this:

1. Create a filter so that all emails that arrive in my inbox from a certain address get automatically labeled a certain way. I have done this. All the newsletters now say "Newsletters" beside them when they arrive, and also I can pull them all up when I click on the designated label in the labels menu. But I don't know how to make them automatically *not* show up in my inbox but instead *only* show up in the designated label.

2. Create a special inboxes. You can have more than one inbox but as far as I can tell, you can only use the ones that are pre-created (Social, Updates, etc.) and I really want my very own that's ONLY for newsletters.



I don't see a way of making either of them do what I want them to do, but surely there's got to be a way? Does anyone know?

If you're in the web version, click on the 3 little stacked dots after your Newsletters label and make sure you select Hide under the "In message list" option.

Thank you so much! I'll try that.

In the filter settings, check Skip the Inbox (Archive it) as well as check the box for adding the label.

I just discovered this possibility! Thanks!

Was just going to say this! I also have a LOT of emails and this keeps things so much more manageable.

For some reason, it's not working. I set up all the filters, but it didn't work with the new emails I got this morning!
