Gmail – Automating filter rule creation in Gmail

gmailgmail-filters

I get cases where I start getting e-mails from people I am not interested in getting.

These are not SPAM, just boring e-mails.

In such cases I tend to create the filter rule that makes all the emails of that person go outside the inbox and into some label.

The problem is that the process it takes to create the filter each time is long. Is there a way to make that filter creation faster?

Both the individual message action menu (Individual message menu) and the More Actions menu (More actions) have a Filter message like these option. You can do this from an individual thread or select multiple emails and use the More Actions menu.

There isn't any way to send these into an existing filter without going through the long edit process.
