Ten Must-Have Gmail Filters Available for Download
How to Download and Import These Filters
To use this, first, you'll have to enable Gmail Labs. Then, in Labs settings, enable the "Filter import/export" feature, as shown.
Next, right-click on the download button here and choose "Save link as" to save the filter file to your computer.
Before you import, it's important to know: These filters don't archive, delete, or forward messages, because we're not going to make those decisions about your inbox. All they do is file messages under a set of labels that all start with f/. That way you can see which labels belong to these filters easily, and tweak them to your liking. On import these filters will create the labels automatically, so don't be alarmed when they show up.
To import the file, in Settings > Filters, click on the "Import filters" link and select the file you downloaded and saved on your computer. Then click the "Open File" button.
Then, select which ones from the list you want to import, and click on the "Create Filters" button, as shown.
Of course, once you've imported the filters, it's up to you to tweak them to your particular needs and add or modify the actions associated with them.

- First create a new filter for "ideas" in gmail. Make the filter skip the inbox and go directly to archives. While you’re at it, create a new "ideas" label as well.
- Next test out your new trick by sending yourself an email to your gmail account with the "ideas" label tagged onto it (ie, user.name+ideas@gmail.com). You can test this by sending the message from any email account, not just gmail.
- If everything worked fine, you should have one new message waiting for you in your "ideas" label.
- Assuming it worked, you can now set up an ActiveWords action, or other macro kinda thing to fire up a new email to your new label whenever you want to drop an idea in there.
Assuming you’ve got a gmail account (feel free to leave a comment if you need one), you can pre-sort email messages to yourself simply by adding a plus sign (+) and a label name to the end of your gmail user name.

4. Send yourself reminders of upcoming tasks
I have created a separate label / folder to store the reminders. Now once I need to remember to do anything, I send an email message to myself and this task is stored in my TO-DO folder unread until I go and do that.
