Make Filter dialog box with sample filter
Match Conditions
The Match Conditions area of the dialog box helps you set up the criteria that will deter-
mine whether a particular message will be acted on by this filter.
You can specify that the type of messages you are interested in should be Incoming
and/or Outgoing. You can also specify that this should be a Manual filter (described
below). You can check and uncheck any combination of the three boxes: Incoming,
Outgoing, and Manual.
Note. If the messages you selected when you chose Make Filter were in any ma ilbox
other than your Out mailbox, the Incoming and Manual check box es are checked automat-
ically. If the messages you selected were in your Out mailbox, the Outgoing and Manual
check boxes are checked automatically.
■Incoming—If this box is selected, then any incoming message that satisfies the
content match condition you specify will be acted on according to t he action you’ve
specified in this filter.
■Outgoing—If this box is selected, then any outgoing message that satisfies the
content match condition you specify will be acted on according to t he action you’ve
specified in this filter. The matching and action occurs after the message has been
sent.
■Manual—If this box is selected, then when you select one or more message summa-
ries in a mailbox window and choose Filter Messages from the Special m enu, the
incoming and/or outgoing messages selected that satisfy the con tent match condition
you specify will be acted on according to the action you’ve specified in this filter. This
option is useful when testing your filter or manually filtering mess ages that you have
already received or sent.
Note. If Incoming or Outgoing is selected (or both), the filter is automatic; that is, Eud ora
performs the filter operation behind the scenes, automatically, when you send or check
mail. If you now also select Manual, the filter becomes both automatic and manual,
meaning, you can now manually perform the filter operation by selecting Filter Messages
