Hello Everyone,
Because of the large amount of emails on this reflector, I just wanted to
share how I avoid having my main inbox spammed. The website describes how
to do this in outlook but doing this in gmail is not exactly intuitive. In
gmail there is something called "Labels", labels can essentially be used as
folders to sort certain emails. This allowed me to place all incoming BVARC
emails into a folder separate from my main inbox so I can go back and read
at my leisure. ,
Here's how to do it in Gmail:
1: Click the + next to Labels on the right side and name it. I named mine
BVARC

2: Next, type BVARC in the main search bar for Gmail and click the Settings
button to the right of the x.

3: Next, click Create Filter at the bottom.

4: Next, check "Apply to the label:" and select the label you created in
step 1. And if you want to keep the emails out of your main inbox, check
"Skip the Inbox (Archive it)". This will place the emails into the label
folder but hide them in your main inbox. Then click "Create Filter"

All emails containing "BVARC" will now go to the label (folder) instead of
your main inbox. When a new email comes in, you'll see a notification next
to the label.
Hope this helps somebody.
