Creating a Filter in Gmail

It happens to all of us.....we make a mistake and our inbox is suddenly bombarded with emails that we have to manage.  Or there are emails that we get from an individual or group that we want to just move neatly into an organized folder without me having to move them one at a time.  If you know something about the emails that will be coming into your inbox, why not set up a filter (either permanently or temporarily) to help Gmail manage your inbox for you.  Setting up a filter is actually pretty easy...and so is editing or deleting it if it isn't working the way you wanted it to.  In Gmail, click on the gear in the upper right hand corner and choose Settings.  Click on the "Filters and Blocked Email Addresses" tab.  Click "Create New Filter" and get started adding the information you want to filter.  The next step is to click on "Create filter with this search" and make the choices where you want emails with these parameters to go.  Click on Create Filter and your incoming emails will start to be filtered.  If you find that it isn't working the way that you wanted it to, just go back to the filters and either edit or delete your filter.
