A filter action decides what happens to an incoming email once it matches your filter's conditions — such as moving it to a folder or forwarding it on. This guide shows how to choose the action for a message filter.
Step 1 — Open Settings
Click your avatar in the top-right corner, then click Settings.
Step 2 — Open the Message Filters panel
Click Message Filters (blue) in the settings sidebar.
Step 3 — Create a new filter
Click New Filter (blue) and define the conditions that decide which emails the filter matches.
Step 4 — Choose an action
Select what the filter does to matching mail under Perform the following action (orange) — Copy, Move, Forward, Forward a copy, or Delete — then choose the destination folder or enter the email address it applies to.
Tip: Move files matching mail into a folder and removes it from the inbox, while Copy keeps the original in place. Use Forward to send a copy on to another address automatically.
Step 5 — Save the filter
Click Add (green) to store the filter and start applying it to incoming mail.
