I accidentally deleted the filters for auto-archiving (skip the inbox) messages that go into my smart label (promotions, social, etc.) folders.How can I re-enable/re-create these filters so that my inbox stops being full of these?
How to create filter to archive smart label messages?

I deleted my Promotions labels thinking I wouldn't need it anymore but I prefer it over the new inbox so I searched a little and this seems to have worked:Create a new label with the same name as the Smart Filter, in my case PromotionsCreate a new filter and enter the value label:^smartlabel_promo in the Has the words field. When you do a sample filter search, that value becomes category:promotions automaticallySave the filter and the Smart Label for Promotions should be restoredSource for #2: http://productforums.google.com/d/msg/gmail/Tly7NqKJ0_I/_1-w1AKv5VkJ
