Import Pre-Created Filter Into Gmail

If you use Gmail as your mail provider, please follow the below instructions to import our Docucopies.com Gmail Filter:

Section 1: Download the pre-created Docucopies.com filter:

We have two different filters for you to choose from. The first one will create the filter within your Gmail account so that all emails from Docucopies.com will go into your Gmail Inbox. The second filter will create a filter and generate a new label for all Docucopies.com messages to go into. When a new Docucopies.com message arrives, it will then go into both your Gmail Inbox and your newly created "DocuCopies.com" folder/label.

Both of the options will help ensure that Docucopies.com messages avoid your "Promotions" tab and your spam folder. Using one of the filters benefits both Gmail web users and people that are using their Gmail account with POP/IMAP access.

Click the desire option below and save the file to the desired location on your computer. We generally suggest saving the file to your Desktop so that you can find it easily later. On some browsers, the file may just download the file into your "Downloads" folder (without asking you where to put it) -- this is fine, just make sure that you know where the file is located.

Section 2: Importing the pre-created Docucopies.com filter:
