Our second tip was about managing your DailyLit emails in Outlook. Gmail users, now it’s your turn. Learn how to easily manage your DailyLit emails in Gmail using filters and labels. (And check out our first tip here.)

To set up a filter that will label your installments:
-Click on “Settings” in the upper right, then click on “Filters.”
-To filter all emails from DailyLit, fill in “books@dailylit.com” in the “from” field.
-Or, to filter installments of a single book, write the book title in the subject line.
-Click “next.”
-Now you can apply a label (either “DailyLit” or an individual title) to filtered emails as well as select other options: have the emails skip the inbox, always be marked with a star, and so on. When you’re happy with the settings, click “Create Filter” and voilà—your filter is ready to use.

If you’d rather not use a filter, you can create a DailyLit label to apply after you read emails. Click on the “More Actions” drop down menu, create a DailyLit or book label, then use the check boxes and drop-down menu to apply the label to individual emails.

Other Gmail tips:
-You can retroactively apply filters to all the emails you’ve received from DailyLit.
-If you set your emails to skip your inbox, they’re easily accessible by clicking on the DailyLit or book label in the “Labels” box to the lower left of the inbox.
-To file away emails after they come into your inbox, after you’ve read the email, apply the DailyLit or book label, then click the “Archive” button in the upper left. You can access your archives in the “Labels” box.
