gmail-filtersgmail-labels
I have a bunch of filters set up to channel certain emails; label them and skip the inbox.
However, if I reveive an email that doesn't fit the filter criteria, and I label it manually, I would like it to operate under those filter specs, ie, disappear from the inbox in this case.
Is that possible? The only way I can find is to go into filter settings and "apply to all conversations" every time.
Yes, you go to settings - filters and create new filter then put your outlook address in the from address, go to create filter from this search and use the apply the label selection as the rule and then create filter and have it apply to the # matching conversations that it found from the "search"
This will apply it to all incoming messages that meet your criteria (you can specify additional criteria like subject containing "FWD") and any already existing "conversations" that match your criteria
I had the same problem, and found this Q&A. When I went to run some tests, I discovered that Gmail had added a checkbox for just this issue called "Don't include chats" (see screenshot of Search Options drop-down menu). I've been using this for almost a week and it seems to work.

Instead of "
Labeling" the mail, i.e. using the label icon, you can "Move" the mail to a label (using the Folder icon).This will tag the mail with the right label and archive it (no more in the inbox).
