GMail, tutorial of the Google webmail

• Filtering Rules
  

Gmail allows you to create up to 20 filtering rules with some interesting functions, many of which are recommended to better manage 2GB of email. These rules allows for a Gmail program to automatically sort our messages.

In the example that was shown in the two previous screen shots, the filter sorts any incoming messages from “Bob” and assigns them to the “Friends” view (and moves them from the “inbox” into the “archive”).

This means that any messages that arrive from Bob are automatically sorted into the “Friends” group with out you having to do anything. It is also possible to see how many new messages are in your box thanks to the number in brackets next to the name, indicating how many new messages there are.

The functionalities offered by Gmails filtering process are efficient and variable (see the screen shot below) for the general public. Each search function can contain multiple words separated by logic arguments like AND and OR. With these tools we can create very precise rules.

These are some rules that can be applied to the “From:” field:

• @generation-nt.com
  Every message that is sent from the @generation-nt.com domain
  

• Grey-Wolf
  Every message with Grey-Wolf as the sender (this can be “Grey-Wolf generation-NT for example)
  

• @hotmail.com OR @hotmail.fr
  Each message received from the hotmail .com or .fr domain will be filtered
  

• "Le Doc" OR @generation-nt.com
  Every message coming from « Le Doc » or from the @generation-nt.com domain will be filtered

Some examples for “filtering by words”:

• Domain
  Every message with the word “Domain” in it

• Domain OR Work
  Every message containing the word “Domain”, the word “Work” or both

• (Domain OR Work) AND Task
  Every message containing the word “Domain” or “Work” and containing the word “task”.
