Go to your Gmail settings and look for “Filters and Blocked Addresses.” Make new filters with things like the email address or what it’s about. Choose to either throw the email away or put a label on it.
In Outlook, find “Settings” and then look at the “Rules.” Add rules to deal with emails using things like who sent it or what words it has, and choose to move them to spam.
Starting to take over your inbox often means making filters. Filters sort your incoming lots of emails by themselves, so your main inbox stays tidy. By using certain things to look for, you can send lots of emails to certain folders or delete them right away.
