[opportune]

heres a potentially easy one: create a tool that behaves exactly like outlook rules to the user but can be applied to gmail

I spend too much time looking at email and can’t seem to get the hang of the gmail labels system

A possible solution is: coarsely label the incoming mail, or just label everything incoming if coarse label is not possible.

In Google Apps Script, fetch all mail with that label, process as wanted, like sending replies, moving, deleting; & then remove the label.
