Know the method to sort your email and filter messages
Today, a large part of the population has an email. Gmail is one of the most used services to manage email tools. Those who have to work with Gmail every day want to forget about spam and get the most out of this service. Many are looking to achieve maximum productivity and reduce the inconvenience that a full inbox can cause.
Many times the messages accumulate without realizing it and the result is a completely overwhelmed inbox of all kinds of emails, notifications from social networks, advertising or messages from applications that you have not used for a long time. So that you don’t despair when your Gmail inbox is full, you can follow a trick and get the most out of this service.
There are several ways to organize your workspace without having to use different email addresses. This is because with a single address you can filter simply with a ‘+’ sign or a period.
How to modify email with a symbol
It is possible to use email addresses that are intended for a task, but always end up in the same inbox, and without having to change the email address. There are two ways to customize your address, but without actually changing it:
– Add a ‘+’ sign in your mail. This is very common, since after this sign all the text that can be written will be omitted. For example, if the email is [email protected], you can write [email protected] to receive data from this social network.
– Add one or more periods (‘.’) anywhere in the address. As in the other option, these will not be recognized by the service, so the emails sent to [email protected] will also go to [email protected].
For people who want to keep their inbox tidy, this is a method that can be used to apply various filters. In addition to the Gmail search engine, you can also filter through the native tool. In this case you can choose that all these messages do not go through the inbox and are classified in another way, deleted or assigned a label. This can be achieved by clicking on the three lines found in the search engine itself.
In the popup window, a form with several boxes will appear. It is best to enter the email in question in the ‘To’ section. At the bottom click on ‘Create filter’. It offers you a wide list of actions that will always be applied with all these input emails.
