How can I set filters for my group emails in Gmail?

  1. Login to Gmail and navigate to the settings button  .
  2. On the drop-down menu, click on Settings and then select the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab.
  3. Click Create a new Filter and a box will appear.
  4. In the From field, enter the group email address or individual email address you would like to filter.  Click the magnifying glass  to test the search criteria.
Note:

If you want to filter by individual email addresses and not a group one, you will need to create individual filters for each person. Although you can create filters with multiple email addresses, it will only filter emails from all the email addresses listed and not each email address individually.

 

  1. Click Create filter with this search.
  2. Check the box or boxes for the filtering actions you would like to happen on incoming emails that fit the search criteria.  Some options include putting them in a specific folder or giving them a label.
  3. Click Create filter.
