How to create Gmail rules for existing emails
In addition to creating Gmail rules from scratch, you can create Gmail rules directly from the emails already in your inbox.
- Open Gmail in your web browser. Check the boxes next to all emails that apply to the criteria for the rule you wanted to create.
- Click on “More”, the button with the three vertical dots under the search bar.

- Click “Filter messages like these.”
- Make sure to double-check the criteria you want to use for the filter.
- Click “Create filter.”
- Again, choose the behavior that you want to apply to the rule (Mark as read, Delete, Archive, etc.)
- Click “Create filter.”
