purposes
1. To manage emails in folders
automatically

spam
6. Manage emails automatically
Filters can automatically receive and
categorize your emails in different folders.
For example , you have subscribed a
newsletter and you don’t want to receive its
emails to your inbox , but you are interested
to receive its emails in another folder , so
that you can see them in your free time ,
you can use filters for that purpose
Your inbox should only show your important personal
emails.
Newsletters , reminders and offers should be send to
other folders
7. Protection from spam / Bulk emails
Filters can also save you from spam
and bulk emails
You can notice that bulk and spam
emails contains subjects in which
some common words are used , for
example “free”, “join” , “sex” and “porn”
, “medicine” , “offer” , “congratulations”
and “win” etc etc
8. How to create filter

you can decide that when this type of
email is received it should be placed in
that folder.
9. To create a filter in yahoo email

12. Give a discriptive
name to the filter
Select
Condition
Choose on which part
of the email you want
to apply the filter , for
example , we have
applied filter on the
subject of the mailAnd in the end , you will choose
that where (or in which folder) the
emails should be placed after
getting filtered
We have made a filter with the name
“nidokidos”
It works on subject , if the subject will
contain the word “[nidokidos]” then it will
filter that email and send it to the folder
which we will select
We have selected a folder
“nidokidos” to place these kind of
filtered emails , similarly you can
create 15 filters in yahoo

forwards and place them in some
appropriate folder

always.
21. For gmail users
Gmail don’t have folders in it . They
say that we don’t like to make folders ,
don’t manage mails , just search them
Gmail also have filters and spam
protection, see your gmail setting
22. Protect email addresses
Don’t forward chain letters without
removing hundreds of email addresses
from them
Don’t forward emails to your friends
using CC: . Instead of CC: always
use BCC:
Using BCC will forward your emails
without forwarding email address lists
of your friends and family members
23. Write your own address in TO field.
Write your friends addresses in BCC
By doing so , you will receive a copy of your email back
to you and your friends will also receive a copy of your
email without any problem. Email addresses are not
distributed to all the email list by doing so.
24. Protect email addresses
Don’t fill out websites forms un-
necessarily with your emails address
A lot of greeting card websites collect
email address for spamming. You
should be aware of such websites
Never ever reply spam or junk email.
Replying spammers confirms them
that their target email address really
exists.
25. Protect email addresses
Don’t try to unsubscribe spammers.
When you try to unsubscribe a website
which is spamming on your email
address , because it again confirms
the existence of your email id.
26. I hope you will easily manage your
emails now
Forward it to friends who really need it
