Delete all emails from facebook automatically: GMail Filter

Too many facebook emails? Want to sort it right to your mind? GMail has an option fits just right for this case. This will be an automated sort and we call it “Filter”.
Like the word “Filter” tells, any element you don’t want will set apart. If you set a filter for sender from facebook, all emails from facebook will be automatically sorted to your order.
Here are why you have to do this. You have tons of emails from facebook, and you want to label them automatically; You have hundreds of facebook emails and you want them to go straight to trash; You have a couple of emails and you want to forward facebook emails to another account.
Follow these steps:
1. From your gmail home page, click on “Create a filter”.

Gmail 2. Under Create a Filter tab, in “From” dialogue box, type “facebook”. This filters any emails with senders named facebook. If you want to test which emails go with this parameter, click Test Search, and you will see filtered emails below. Now click “Next Step”.

In our case, we click “Delete it” because we want all emails from facebook to stay in trash can. :) Now click “Create Filter”, and you get it. Easy, isn’t it?

Tips&Tricks: With filter, you can do more things with emails, not just emails from facebook. If you don’t want to read any emails sent by any specific sender, you can use this filter and just change the “From” parameter (as in Step 1). That’s easy!
