Email filters

Automatically sort, forward, or flag incoming emails based on rules.

What are email filters?

Email filters (also called rules) automatically process incoming emails. You can: • Move emails to a folder • Forward to another address • Flag with a marker • Mark as read • Discard (delete) Filters are checked in order – the first match wins.

Creating a filter

How to create a new filter: 1. Go to Email and click on a mailbox 2. Open the "Filters" tab 3. Click "Add filter" 4. Give the filter a name 5. Set at least 1 condition (e.g. "Sender contains @newsletter.com") 6. Choose an action (e.g. "Move to Newsletters folder") 7. Click Save
Tips
  • Filters run automatically on new incoming emails.
  • Spam is caught before your filters run – you won't see junk here.
  • Filters don't apply to emails already in your mailbox.

Managing filters

On the "Filters" tab you see all your filters in priority order. For each filter you can: • Enable/disable with the toggle • Edit by clicking the pencil icon • Delete with the trash icon • Reorder by dragging
Note
  • Filters are only available if your admin has enabled this permission for your account.
  • Maximum 10 filters per mailbox.
