Setup Filters

If you do not want to receive unwanted messages or want to automatically file new messages then use the filter feature.

Filters are very easy to setup. You select the type of filters and apply an action. The following filters are supported by Air Mail:

From - the address of the user.

eg: bob@annoying.com

To - whom the message is to.

eg: itchy@simpons.com

Subject - the subject line.

eg: Testing

Organization - the organization line.

eg: Toysoft Development Inc.

Others - any text.

eg: Power Amiga

The type of actions are:

NONE
Delete it
Into Folder
Reply To

The match may or may not be case sensitive. Check the check box if you want it to be case sensitive.

Note that in the Others filter only the body of the message is searched. In the example above any message you receive with the word "Power Amiga" will be tagged as a filter and the action is applied on it. The rest of the filters are searched on the message header only.

Buttons

Save - Saves current filter.

Delete - Deletes selected filters.

Cancel - Cancels or closes filter file.
