Setup 'Rules' or filters in Webmail

You can add 'Rules' or 'Filters' for incoming emails.  This option is great for filtering out unwanted emails or delivering certain emails to specific folders or automatically having them deleted.  To setup a filter, do the following:

1.  Login to Webmail
2.  Click on the 'Filter' icon.
3.  Click on the 'New Rule' button.
4.  In the box next to 'Rule Name' type in the name of the rule you would like.  (i.e. Company Name)
THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXAMPLE:


5.  Click on the one of the options 'all of the following' or 'any of the following'.  This is meant to follow the setting you setup next.
6.  In the drop down box where it says 'Select a field', select from what part of the email message the new rule will be responsible for reading.
7.  In the drop down box under 'Do this', select what action you want to be take for the the emails that fall into the new rule.
8.  You can put a 'check' in any or all of the 'Mark message as' options.  This will mark the email as 'seen', 'flagged for followup', 'answered' or 'deleted'.
9.  The next check box, 'Stop checking if this rule matches'. If this option is checked, and a message matches this rule, the remaining filters will not be processed.
10.  Either click the 'Save' button if this is the last rule you want to setup or click the 'Return to Filters List' to add additional rules.
