Google has announced a lab feature called SmartLabel which quickly creates a notification label and applies it to emails automatically.
SmartLabels in Gmail Labs
- Just look up under settings and click on Labs.
- In GMail Labs, search for ‘SmartLabels’ and you will be shown the smart labels feature. Enable it and save the changes.
- Once SmartLabels is enabled, similar emails are automatically sorted out and you can find them under a new label called notification.
Here is a short video on how to go about it:
This is a nice improvement for users who are not using Filters. I have an alternate Gmail account which does get a few updates from subscriptions and also get some personal mail. Because I do not use this account everyday, I was lazy enough to not take time and create filters on this account. I found SmartLabels a better alternative.
