Organize Mail As It Arrives

Netscape Messenger's filters give you control over your mountain of mail.

By Gregg Keiser, PCWorld   

High e-mail volume got you down? Use Messenger's filtering system to shunt the most important incoming messages to special folders where they won't get lost among all the spam.

First, bring up the Filters dialog by selecting Edit, Message Filters. Click the New button to create a filter.

Name the filter in the top box, then make a selection from the drop down list in the next field. If you want to trap all high-priority messages, for instance, choose "priority" in the first field in that line, "is higher than" in the second, and "Normal" in the third. (This will push all messages marked as High or Highest to your special folder.)

In the next line of fields, pick "Move to folder," choose the destination folder (use the New Folder button to create one if necessary), and click OK in this dialog and the next. From now on, any incoming message that matches the criteria you've set ends up in the specified folder.
