Dear GMail…

I would like a few things.

  • Move the “Create a New Filter” link to toward the top of the page. I end up with a lot of filters and I don’t really want to scroll down all the way to the bottom just to make a new one. Or put a link at the top and the bottom. There’s no reason it can’t be in both places at once.
  • Under the “Reply” pull-down box, place a link to make a filter from that sender. This is a lot easer than, say, copying the email address, going to filters, making a new filter, pasting the email address, etc.
  • For Google Apps, could we perhaps get a “Global Filter” type page or something to mass-manage email? There are quite a few message types I would prefer no-one receive, and I don’t have time to modify each account.

Thanks!

    FYI: you second bullet point has been implemented I believe. When viewing a message use the drop down and select “filter messages like these”. :)

    Well now I feel like an idiot. Why couldn’t I see that this morning?

    Doh!

    My Create a Filter is at the top of the page, right beside my Google searchbar. I don’t see one at the bottom.

    Roger, I did not see that before and now it’s there. Thank you.

    One additional thing I’d like from Gmail is this: When I make a filter from, say, the third page of my archived mail, I’d love for Gmail to take me back to the third page of my archived mail instead of to the filter page.

    Quick, someone tell me that it already does that!

    I have no idea what a filter even is.
