About Rules

Email delivery rules are used to assist you in managing your mail, and are based on the contents of the To, From, Sender, Subject, Message Header , and Message Body fields. They help you to filter out spam and other messages that contain certain types of attachments, and can be used to direct specified mail into a specific mailbox. The IMail Web client applies the rules you create when messages arrive in your Inbox.

You can set up your rules to support multiple rule conditions; rules can be used in conjunction with forwarding or the Info Manager to reroute mail from you to another mail user or mailbox. For example, all messages directed to you with the words "Awesome Medical Breakthrough" can be routed to your System Administrator, or to a folder named Spam.

Although creating rules in the Web interface is straightforward, there are some complexities. Click a hyperlink below to convey you to step-by-step instructions for your specific rule scenario.
