Application: Mail Web version

A filter can be created from any email in the user's folders, except for the Drafts folder.

For more information about filters and on how to create them, see Configure filters.

When creating an email filter, certain fields on the filter creation form will be automatically populated with data extracted from the email. This simplifies the process of filter creation for the user.

The fields that are automatically filled in depend on the folder where the email is located. For instance, if the email is in the Inbox folder, the form will already contain the following values:

If the "From" field contains the email address or name of the email sender from which the filter is being created

Then Move to folder.

The user only needs to enter the folder name to which the email should be moved. However, if needed, they can modify the values of the automatically populated fields.

To create a filter from an email, do the following:

1.Select an email. The email will open in the Reading pane.

2.On the email toolbar in the Reading pane click2_2 More.

3.In the opened menu, select Add filter. This will open a new tab in the user profile settings section with the Filters sub-section open and the New filter form displayed. Some fields on the form will already be pre-filled.

4.If needed, edit the filter settings which have been set automatically.

5.Specify the values in the field which have not been filled automatically.

6.Click the Save button. The filter creation form will close and the filter will appear in the list of filters.
