Creating Gmail Filters

gmail_filters.jpgOne of my blogging and Twitter friends Hussein [Twitter] has just setup his Gmail account to manage his blog email. I mentioned he should setup Gmail filters. Gmail has a page that walks you through the steps of using filters but I thought I’d setup a quick video on doing just that.



NOTE: The cool bookmark hack I was using in the video is from a Lifehacker post by Adam Pash called Hack Attack: Become a Gmail master.

    Great. I’ve learned something new from you. I’ve been using Gmail for a couple of years I think but it is only now I’ve noticed the used of filters. Thanks for the link love. Will surely share it to my followers :)

    Hey Brian,
    I am not sure how people get by without setting filters & folders. I do have everything that gets a label also goes in a folder & skips the “IN” box. That way it only takes me 2 seconds if I am looking to see if mail from a certain project has come in. I would be in a real mess with just plain ol’ email.

    I see you are going all Camtasia High Tech! That’s great – now when I try it I will know who to ask for help!

  6. Hi Sheryl, I love Gmail. I hope it sticks around for a long time without ‘improvement’. Remember ‘New Coke’ LOL

    I use an old version of Camtasia but it was free. Let me know if you need a copy. I want to learn more like zooming in and editing the video before I use it. Adding captions would be great. I need a teenager to show my these things :)

  7. Hey .. thanks for the information :-) I know that Gmail has a lot more options, that I don’t know how to use them .. I look forward for more information about this!
    Thanks again..

  11. Hey Brian, if by chance you have free time and you still have that old free Camtasia app, I would definitely want a copy, if you don’t mind of course. You know my email address. :)

    I have begun being interested in making video posts. I guess, I’m beginning to enter the phase where writing pure text posts is becoming less exciting and besides I plan to spruce up my blog content a bit with videos every now and then.
