About Rules

Email delivery rules are designed to assist in managing your mail, and are based on the contents of the following fields:

• To
• From
• Sender
• Subject
• Message Header
• Message Body

Rules assist in filtering 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 your rules as messages arrive into your INBOX.

Rules can be set up to support multiple rule conditions; rules can be used in conjunction with forwarding or the Auto Responder to reroute mail to another mail user or mailbox.

For Example:

All incoming messages 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 Client is straightforward, there are some complexities. Click a hyperlink below to get step-by-step instructions for your specific need.
