I created some filters to label my e-mails in Gmail, but all of these multiple label mails have the "inbox" label too!
How can I remove the inbox label on labeled emails? (With this configuration labeled e-mail will not show in inbox.)

Edit your filter and check the "Skip the Inbox (Archive it)" option in addition to your "Apply the label" action.

1The
Archive itmade me sceptical first but this does exactly the expected. On other E-Mail plattforms this usually means the mail is completely removed from the folders and somewhere stored in an dedicated archive ...– derHugoMar 20, 2019 at 11:56
[@Ale's working solution][1] works for all new emails. Following up within the question "How can I remove the inbox label on labeled emails?" there is a further explanation as anyone follow this question may have a lot of preexisting emails with 'inbox label':
How to remove the inbox label retrospectively
- Create Labels
- Search for emails in inbox by email address or topic
- Select them all to go under a new label
- Right click on selected emails and 'Move to' label
- Now the inbox label will be removed from the retrospective emails and they will be found only under the selected label folder.
- Follow @Ale's working solution to create rules for new incoming emails.

1this doesn't work unfortunately when the messages already assigned the target label but the inbox is still in-place (( only works with single inbox Dec 17, 2020 at 10:59

@Suncatcher I think I know what you mean, what I did once to account for that is rename the folder. Then create a new target folder with the correct name, then move everything to that new folder, thus also the inbox items of said label. And delete the original, an extra step, but I avoid manual work.– user216875Apr 23, 2021 at 0:49
