Not sure about OP but to me rules in GMail don't work.
Gmail filters don't seem to work anymore. I had filters and labels and it was great but I noticed they seems to be failing.
If you go down the rabbit hole of Google Gmail support you'll find filters don't apply to email ("conversations") already in your inbox. But they also don't seem to apply to new email.
Asking on various groups people seem to be giving instructions for options in GMail that no longer exist.
- cnst 7y agoI think they change the way it works, and then existing filters may break at one point. I've had this happen to several filters. TBH, it's just easier to re-do the filters. There's also an option to make it apply to old conversations on a one-time basis as well.
- dghughes 7y agoI've tried that without success. Delete all rules/filters, labels and re-create it all again. Nothing will work on old or new messages. And "apply to zero conversations" is the only thing I see that seems like it would be it but the zero part means no chance of working. Gmail even replied to me on Twitter saying the filters no longer work.
