2To add a new filter, click New or to modify a filter, click an existing filter to select it.

3Select the options for how you want the filter to be used: as an automatic filter to be invoked on any Incoming and/or Outgoing mail and as a Manual filter that can be invoked when you choose Filter Messages from the Special menu. Any combination of these options works.

4Define the criteria for the filter by using the header item drop-down menus and the text fields to specify which header items should include a particular string of text. You can define two related terms for the criteria so that your filter is as specific as possible. For details, see “Filter Criteria” on page 113. Click the page number to display the topic.

5Define the action or actions to be taken on messages that fit the criteria and save the filters. For details, see “Filter Actions” on page 115. Click the page number to display the topic.

Eudora places a small icon to the left of the filter in the list for some action you have selected for that filter— up to five icons/actions per filter.

Note. Filters are automatically named based on the first term of the criteria for the filter. You can reorder them by dragging a filter up or down in the list.

You should reorder your filters to indicate what order you want your messages filtered, and grouping your filters will make them easier to find.
