How to Move Gmail from Promotions to Inbox

Are you tired of constantly scrolling through your Gmail promotions tab, only to find emails that are not relevant to you? Moving emails from the promotions tab to the inbox can help streamline your inbox and make it easier to find important messages. In this article, we will guide you through the process of how to move Gmail from promotions to inbox.

1. Open Your Gmail Account

The first step in moving emails from the promotions tab to the inbox is to log in to your Gmail account. If you are not already logged in, go to www.gmail.com and enter your email address and password.

2. Access the Promotions Tab

Once you are logged in, click on the “Promotions” tab at the top of the page. This tab will display all the emails that have been categorized as promotions.

3. Select the Emails You Want to Move

Scroll through the promotions tab and select the emails that you want to move to your inbox. You can do this by clicking on the checkbox next to each email or by selecting multiple emails at once using the checkboxes at the top of the list.

4. Move the Emails to the Inbox

After selecting the emails, click on the “More” button that appears when you hover over the selected emails. From the dropdown menu, choose “Move to Inbox.” This will move the selected emails to your primary inbox.

5. Create a Filter

To ensure that future emails from the same sender are automatically moved to your inbox, you can create a filter. Click on the “Create filter” link that appears when you select “Move to Inbox.” In the “From” field, enter the email address of the sender. Then, click “Create filter with this search” and select “Inbox” from the dropdown menu under “Skip the inbox (Archive it, delete it, etc.).” Finally, click “Create filter.”

6. Review Your Changes

After moving the emails and creating the filter, take a moment to review your inbox. You should now see the emails that were previously in the promotions tab in your primary inbox. If you find that some emails are still not appearing in your inbox, you may need to adjust the filter settings or manually move the emails.

By following these simple steps, you can easily move Gmail from promotions to inbox and keep your inbox organized and clutter-free. Remember to regularly review your filters and adjust them as needed to ensure that important emails are not mistakenly moved to the promotions tab.
