I was able to set up Gmail so emails from ABC be forwarded to a folder we call D.
It does works but the problem is forwarded emails still show in the inbox like :
____D Subject of email
For example :
____D Your Bank refunded you!
Why this happens and how to get rid of these showing in the inbox.
Google Mail does not have any folders.
Instead, it has labels.
Inbox is not a different folder but a label named Inbox.
When you set up your filter for emails to be "forwarded" to folder __D, what you actually do is to also apply label __D on the emails. That means that your emails now have 2 labels. Inbox as well as __D.
When you archive your emails it means that you remove the label Inbox.
So, in order to "take them out of" the Inbox and still have them show up under __D label, you need to edit your filter and also check the archive box.
