Filters
Mail filters are defined from the Preferences > Mail Filters tab. Mail filtering allows you to define a set of rules and corresponding actions to apply to incoming email. You can filter your incoming email messages to sort them into folders, automatically tag them, forward them, or discard them. When an incoming email message matches the conditions of a filter rule, the corresponding actions associated with that rule are applied. For example, you could define a filter rule to identify email coming from your immediate supervisor and move it to a folder called From My Boss or to automatically move messages from a specific address to the Trash folder. Each incoming message is tested against your filter rules at the time that the email is delivered and the filter actions are applied to matching messages at that time.
- Filter rules are not case-insensitive, meaning that the rules ignore capitalization.
- Three of the comparison methods for filter conditions are Contains, Matches, and Is. These options appear for some items such as the Subject line.
- Wildcards can be used in comparisons that use the Matches comparison operator. The wildcard character to use is an asterisk (*).
