Filtering Messages Eudora User Manual

Transfer to Existing Mailbox— Select to transfer the filtered message into one of your existing mailboxes. Select the mailbox from the button next to the field. The default mailbox is the In box. When you click the button, a version of the Transfer menu appears, letting you choose the mailbox from the Transfer menu.

Note. Also, you can create a new mailbox in the Filters window by choosing New from the drop-down mailbox menu. This is handy for creating a new mailbox within another folder.

Delete Message (Transfer to Trash)— Select to delete the message that satisfies the filter match conditions, transferring it to your Trash mailbox. This feature is useful for deleting junk email, or “spam” as it is called in the Internet world. Test this filter to make sure messages you really want to keep don’t go to the Trash mailbox.

Buttons

■Create Filter— When you have set up your match conditions and filter action, click Create Filter to create the filter. The filter is added to the bottom of your filters list in the Filters window (discussed below). The filter is available immediately and will act on messages that satisfy the conditions at the next mail check, mail send, or selection of the “Filter Messages” command, as appropriate. Filters are processed from top to bottom of the filters list.

■Add Details— Alternately, after setting up the filter information, click Add Details to both create your filter and also open the Filters window. You can add additional infor- mation to your new filter and make it more powerful or just change it. The filter is added to the bottom of your filters list and is immediately available in the form in which it was set up in the Make Filter dialog box. Any changes you make in the Filters window must be saved before they become effective. Following is more information on the Filters window.

■Cancel— Click Cancel to cancel the filter if you change your mind. The filter is cancelled and your changes are not saved.

Detailed Filters with the Filters Window

The Make Filter dialog box, discussed previously, lets you create quick, simple filters that perform one operation— a mail transfer— based on one match condition— a piece of header information. The Filters window lets you create more complex, powerful filters that use multiple match conditions and perform multiple filter actions. You can also use the Filters window to create simple filters such as those created by the Make Filter dialog box.

To open the Filters window to create or modify a filter, do the following.
