Gmail – Is it possible to create a Gmail filter that works on headers other than From, To, Subject

gmailgmail-filters

I've forwarded one of my really old email addresses to Gmail. I'd like to create a filter so that any mail to that old address is always labeled properly in Gmail.

I can create a Gmail filter with the "To: " containing that address, but that doesn't catch all mails to that address, only the ones that are explicitly addressed. Often, there is spam where somebody else is the explicit recipient, and my old address was simply Bcc'd. The "To: " filter doesn't work.

What I'd like to do is filter on the "Delivered-To:" header. Is that possible with Gmail or am I stuck with the three standard options of From, To, Subject?

Best Answer

Yes, you can filter by "Delivered-To". Just create a new filter with deliveredto:youremail@address.com in the has the words field.

🛈 Note that the "has" filter name doesn't have "-" in its name as opposed to the original email header name.
