Mozilla Message Filters

team bbl


You can set up a set of rules that direct incoming email into folders, rather than into your inbox. If you receive a lot of email, organizing your email is very helpful. Click Tools. Select Message Filters. The window in Figure 17-7 opens.

Figure 17-7. Mozilla message filters window.


The window shows a list of the current filterssets of rules.

You can create a new filter, delete a filter, or edit an existing filter. You can also change the order of the filters in the list using the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

Each filter has one or more rules in it. Rules test whether incoming email meets specific criteria. If the message matches, it's handled as defined by the rule. For instance, a rule might look for messages coming from mom@home.com and send any messages from that address into the "Family" folder.

You can log the action of your filters. Click Filter Log. Check "Enable the Filter Log."

ClickRun Now to apply the filters to the folder selected in the drop-down list at the bottom of the window. Any messages found that match an existing filter are handled immediately.

Creating a message filter is discussed in the next section.
