Rules
In this day and age, the E-Mail has overtaken the copy machine, the notice board and memo slips
and has become the main mode of communications in the corporate environment. What with the
various departments passing on orders, counter orders, memos, the daily email traffic in a large
company can easily run into the hundreds. Or if you are like me, that have all my interactions with
my Facebook friends, bosses, colleagues, parents all converging in my Inbox, then you would need
something to help compartmentalize your emails, you need Rule based filtering.
Rules are special logical statements that can be used as guidelines for the application to separate
your incoming emails into different groups. For instance you can make a rule like "All emails from
your friend Bob to a special folder 'Bob's emails'" or "All emails from the accounting department
with the Keyword 'weekly report' in the subject to go to the folder 'weekly accounting report.'" All
you have to do is to make two rules and apply them, and all the emails from Bob and all weekly
accounting reports will be taken out of your Inbox and put into their respective folders.
You can create and manage your rules by selecting Menu -> Tools -> Rules...
In the window you can see a list of your rules, their names, when they are to be invoked and on
which accounts.
You can make a new rule, modify or remove the existing ones. You can also change the priority of
rules and apply rules...
