Gmail wizardry!

Need to find that one email in your inbox of 4k? Well, you can search for it, or you can sort your inbox :D
With gmail, thats not as retarded as it sounds! The trick is filters, there are millions of pages descibing those, so ill just show some examples before we leave the well traveled path and stumble into the dark woods.

Next to the search box in gmail you can click create filter, click it.
