I created a folder for Newegg but nothing else I added seemed to satisfy Claws. By default, incoming messages from your POP account will land onto the Inbox folder of the Mail (MH). Check that in your account preferences, 'Filter messages on receiving' is checked in the Receive tab. Now, you have to learn how the Configuration/Filtering works (Filtering is for filtering incoming messages, but some processing rules can also be set to folder themselves - filtering and processing rules are identical). A good start, to learn it, is to receive a message first in Inbox, select it and go to Tools/Create filter rule. You pick the criteria you want, it adds it. Now go to Configuration/Preferences and see how you can tune it if necessary - and RTM. I won't go further here, it's not only off-topic but also not replying to the original topic of this thread. You're welcome on the Claws Mail users mailing-list or IRC channel if you want! Regards, -- wwp
