Ready-made rules to copy

Six rules that have proven themselves, ready to rebuild under Settings → Automations. How a rule comes together in the first place is shown in Creating your first rule; every available condition and action is listed in the reference.

File newsletters silently

Section titled “File newsletters silently”

The classic: worth reading, never urgent.

  • Condition: From contains newsletter@ (or more precisely per sender)
  • Actions: add tag “Newsletter”, Move to mailbox into the newsletter folder
  • Plus: Mark as read, so the unread counter stays quiet too

Sound and notification are skipped on their own when mail is filed away. A smart folder on the tag brings the collected issues back on demand.

Collect invoices

Section titled “Collect invoices”
  • Condition: Subject contains invoice (or From domain ends with the domain of the usual suspects)
  • Actions: tag “Accounting”, move to the “Invoices” folder

Come tax season, everything is in one place, across all accounts.

Highlight important senders

Section titled “Highlight important senders”
  • Conditions: From contains the address of your boss, the one of your biggest client and the one of your kids’ school, with the mode Any condition matches
  • Action: Set flag color to red (see Colored flags)

The important survives even a crowded morning inbox.

Defuse order confirmations

Section titled “Defuse order confirmations”
  • Conditions: From contains no-reply and Subject contains order (mode All conditions match)
  • Actions: Mark as read, move to “Orders”

The confirmation is there when you look for it, and never in the way.

Shed your own copies

Section titled “Shed your own copies”

For anyone testing forms or receiving service mail from themselves:

  • Conditions: From contains the service’s own sender address and Mailbox / folder is your inbox
  • Action: Move to trash

The folder condition matters here: rules run in every synced folder, and without it the rule would also hit your copies in “Sent”.

Tag mail with attachments

Section titled “Tag mail with attachments”

So contracts, receipts and photos don’t get lost in the history:

  • Condition: Has attachments
  • Action: add tag “Attachment”

A smart folder on the tag, combined with an account, gives you a quick filing place for all documents.
