How do I create a rule to automatically delete e-mails?
Gmail’s filters allow you to manage the flow of incoming messages. Using filters, you can automatically label, archive, delete, star, or forward your mail, even keep it out of Spam — all based on a combination of keywords, sender, recipients, and more. To create a filter: • Click Create a filter (next to the Search the Web button at the top of any Gmail page). • Enter your filter criteria in the appropriate field(s). • Click Test Search to see which messages currently in Gmail match your filter terms. You can update your criteria and run another test search, or click Next Step. • Select one or more actions from the list. These actions will be applied to messages matching your filter criteria in the order in which the actions are listed — for example, you could choose to Forward matching messages to a specific email address, then Delete the messages. Note that if you choose to forward messages to another address, you’ll need to first verify that you own any new forwarding addresses. •
