Gmail introduce Filter Import/Export feature
You might already familiar with Gmail’s filter, some sort like set of rules for your email. Now you have multiple filters set up on your Gmail, what else can you do with it?
Apparently Google has an idea , so they introduce Filter Import/Export feature that allow you to do something with your filter such as :
- Download all your filters. If you’re using POP or IMAP to get backup copies of your mail messages, now you can include your filters too.
- Share filters with other people. If you have a set of filters that is especially good at organizing particular kinds of mail that others also receive, you can now make those filters available to them.
- Temporarily “disable” a set of filters by exporting them and then deleting them. To “reenable” them, just re-import them from the file you exported.
- If you’re comfortable editing XML, you can make new filters that are similar to existing filters. Export the old ones, edit the resulting XML file, and import it back again. For more information about modifying these XML files, see Gmail Labs user group for Filter import/export.
This is great. I have a TON of filters, and I’ve always hated that there’s no way to batch edit them. When they added the “Never send to spam” option, there was really no way to go through and add that to existing filters. Now I can just export, use find and replace to add that where ever it’s missing, and import the changed filters. Awesome.
Thank you for the expert/import feature
