Gmail Part IV: Filter

Gmail comes up with a powerful filter option. Filter is an option given by Gmail by which you can do the following actions on a conversation as it arrives based on the sender, receiver, Subject, content and attachment presence:

1. Archive the conversation
2. Mark the conversation as Read
3. Star the conversation
4. Apply Label to the conversation
5. Forward the conversation to a new email address
6. Delete the conversation

While creating the filter you will get a "Test search" option which will scan your "All Mail" folder and display the results immediately without refreshing the current page :)

Now you can select the action that you would like and apply these actions to the search results too using the "Also apply filter to 27 conversations below" check box.
