I created a filter in Gmail, but forgot to apply it to already existing messages. Is there any way to apply filters to existing messages?

3Go to settings , filters tab... Click edit... use the same settings ( change if required ) and click continue... In this step you can update the filter by checking also apply filter for existing matching conversations ... Apr 9, 2013 at 12:51
