Rules

In the Rules tab, you can create and edit rules to catch spam, sort messages and direct them to particular folders.

Rule is a command that triggers action if some condition is met. For instance, if you want to sort messages from a particular sender and put them in a certain folder, create the following rule:

From: contains (semicolon separated list) {email address} Move to {Folder}

As a result, all the emails that come from {email address} will be moved to {Folder}.

Note: See Managing rules for a detailed description on how to create and edit rules.
