Raise your hand if you have an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend that just won't stop bugging you… Sure, you've changed your phone number and moved 3,000 miles away, but changing your email is out of the question! Today we'll learn how to auto-delete their psychotic emails from your Gmail account.
Rather than a "Block" button like many email clients have, Gmail has a powerful "Filter" feature which you can use for all sorts of purposes, but for today's lesson we'll use a filter to automatically delete messages from a specific (and likely obnoxious) person. Filtering Emails in Gmail If you are reading one of the emails from the extremely annoying person you wish you had never met, you can click the "Create a filter" link right next to the search boxes up near the top of the page… If you chose "Filter messages the From box will automatically be populated with the person's email address, though you can write in their email address, or even their name. I'd go with the email address, and then click the "Next Step" button. On this screen, you can click the "Mark as read" checkbox, and then click on the "Delete it" checkbox. This will send their messages automatically to the trash can. Clicking the "Create Filter" button will make this filter active, and you'll find it listed under Settings \ Filters in case you want to edit or delete it. You'll notice that the message isn't permanently deleted, as it will sit in the trash can for 30 days until it empties automatically. Somehow that seems appropriate if you are open to any patch ups in future,,, maybe? :) regards, ruchir. -- As long as forever, I will stay by your side, I'll be your companion, Your friend and your guide!!! www.ruchir89.wordpress.com To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
