Method 2: Use Gmail Add-Ons

If you must set up a filter in Gmail that will auto-delete all old newsletters and promotional emails from your mailbox. Or a separate filter that will apply a different label to emails after a specific number of days and mark them as read; you may use the Email Studio add-on.

Email Studio is a Gmail add-on that keeps your inbox clean and clutter-free with the auto-purge function. Follow the steps below to set up the service from scratch.

Step 1: Visit the Email Studio add-on page and click Install.
