Rules: file, label and archive automatically
Rules run on new mail as it arrives: match the sender, recipient, subject or mailbox and move, label, star or archive.
Updated October 27, 2026
Settings → Rules → New rule. A rule has one or more conditions (from, to, subject contains, has attachment, mailbox) and one or more actions (move to folder, add label, star, mark read, archive, spam, trash, snooze).
Rules run in order on every new message in the inbox. Tick stop processing on a rule to prevent later rules from touching the same message. Rules never delete mail permanently.
