This easy email trick will make your inbox clutter vanish - without complex rules or multiple accounts

Is your inbox overflowing with ads, newsletters, and social media updates? This one feature that's built into most email solutions will fix that for you.

Still, their solutions are imperfect and require constant manual intervention to train the algorithms and find the important stuff that was inadvertently demoted. For years, I used rules and filters based on the sender's address to move less important messages out of the inbox and into custom folders. You can set up similar aliases with matching subfolders for anything you want: recipes, sports headlines, social media alerts, and even correspondence from groups you're a member of.
