Creating message rules:

Filters are rules telling Entourage how to manage your e-mail.  They are used in conjunction with folders.  They can be used to send e-mail automatically to folders you create or eliminate e-mails you don't want.  In this tutorial, we'll create a filter that sends a specific e-mail to the folder we created in the 'Folders' tutorial.

On the Toolbar, click Tools and select Rules from the menu.

 

The Rules window appears.

Click New to create a new filter.

 

The Edit Rule window opens.

Rule name  =  give the new filter a name.

Select Match any of the following.

Note the five fields.

In the first field, I selected From from the menu.

In the second field, I selected is from the menu.

In the third field, I entered granny@ispname.com.

In the fourth field, I selected Move message from the menu.

In the fifth field, I selected Choose folder from the menu.

After selecting Choose folder, the following Choose Folder window appears. 

Select the folder and click Choose.

 

Now, any e-mail message where the Sender field is granny@ispname will be moved automatically to the Family folder.

Click OK when finished.

 

The new filter now shows in the list.

You can edit and modify filters or create additional filters from here.  You can create different types of filters to manage your e-mail.  Experiment.

Click OK when finished.
