college-filters

This repository is home to a set of email filters that I use to automatically sort all the college emails that I get.

How it works

Emails will get automatically sorted into a gmail label called "Colleges" and be archived to keep the out of the inbox.

Warning

This filter will also filter all emails from a .edu email address and may cause unwanted issues.

This technically contains two filters at the moment to catch all the emails.

Installing is easy:

1. Download the filters from here Download the files by right clicking and select Save As...
