I need to filter any mails directly addressed to me. It shouldn't pick mails in which I am in CC.
Second condition: Consider, I am in a group alias called eg:[email protected], if mail is addressed to [email protected], this should not be filtered. Filter should exclude it.
New to Gmail filters, please help.
I need to filter any mails directly addressed to me. It shouldn't pick mails in which I am in cc.
This worked for me:
to:me AND NOT cc:me
Update:
We have more conditions. My assumptions are as follows:
Use the search string as given below:
(to:me AND NOT cc:me) OR (to:GROUP AND cc:me)
Replace GROUP with group email.
Using simply "to:me" should do the trick most of the time, but that may give some false positives, so it is better to spell out your whole email address like this "to:[email protected]".
Or, in case you are using Gmail with your personal email address, "to:[email protected]"
If you use your Gmail as a unified inbox with multiple email accounts, try "to:[email protected] OR to:[email protected]"
The way to set it up: Enter the search term (e.g. to:[email protected]) in the search box above your inbox
Click the little "sliders" icon on the right. That opens a window with advanced search options.
In the bottom right of that window, you have the option to "create filter". Click that, and you'll get options for what to do with emails that meet the criteria.
But a word of warning: It is easy to set up filters that give false positives or false negatives, especially while you're still learning. For new filters that you haven't tested yet, you may want to steer clear of the high-risk or non-reversible actions (like "delete it"), and stick to low-risk actions like categorizing, starring, or marking as read.
