Creating message filters:

Filters are rules telling Eudora 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 Window and select Filters from the menu.

 

The Filters window appears.

To create a new filter, click the New button.
