Use Gmail filters and labels
Automatically organize incoming messages and keep important email easy to find.
Key information
- Be cautious of any email that pressures you to act quickly, especially if it involves logging in, changing passwords, or sharing information
- Do not open attachments (PDFs, Word docs, etc.) from unknown or unexpected senders
- Check for the "External" sender warning—this means the email is from someone outside our division. If the message seems suspicious, verify it before responding.
- If you receive a suspicious email, report it as phishing by clicking the three dots in Gmail and select "Report phishing"
