Filter out the Spam:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
You may know how to filter out the spammers but for those who are unaware, here is a way. We usually delete the spam files. Google, in a way, understands the emails which you don’t open or remove immediately are spam files. After a while, Google will redirect those in the spam folder. But, they may not be Spams. If you mark the spammers’ emails as spam, Google will take that into notice, and the future emails won’t hit your inbox for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process is easy. You select the spam emails and mark it as spam the clicking the “!” icon as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emails will automatically move to the spam folders.

These may be your bank or Tax related emails which you need to archive. Hence, move them to inbox using the same process. This time, Click the ” Not Spam\u201c button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
