I’m an organization freak. I need things to be organized so they are quick and easy to find.
This is especially helpful with email seeing as I have multiple email addresses I work with and some of them have hundreds of subscriptions. It creates quite a nightmare tying to stay organized. But with this email organization hack using Gmail rules and filters, all my emails are automatically sorted and categorized for me with a quick set up.
In the video below, I’ll show you how to set up rules and filters using Gmail to keep my inbox clean and organized, and how that applies to desktop mail clients such as ThunderBird.
Would be my dream!
Ya, it really helps to set up the rules in gMail so that when email arrives to your desktop email software, everything is already organized for you! Of course, you have to use IMAP functionality for this to happen, but it’s 2019…it’s pretty standard.
Thanks for this Herc. I keep my primary sending and receiving through Outlook and am fastidious about organizing folders, setting rules, tasks, etc. but Gmail accounts, mmmmm not so much.
I think I originally (WAY back in the day) thought I was going to use Gmail accounts a catch-all/throw-away accounts like AOL, Inbox.com, Yahoo and so on – so I didn’t get in the neet nut mode with Gmail.
Funny how quick it becomes near impossible to square it all away. It helps to be reminded that Google has made it easier over-time to set up Folders (Labels), Filters and Rules.
Now I need to set aside the time and “JUST DO IT”.
wouldn’t it be nice if it was as easy as this to do the same thing with paper on my desk ;))
