It's a little convoluted (so is my explanation below). Suppose I want
to send all the mail from you to a spam folder.
I would click on Tools -> Create Filter rule. I haven't used
automatically, so I'm not sure what will happen there. To get rid of
your mail, I would click By From. This brings up the list of current
rules. It shows your address, but a blank action. I click on the
Define button to the right of Action. It brings up a window with move
as the default action. I click on the Select, to select where I want
your mail moved. Let's say I already have a mail folder called
spam_folder (it has to be defined in claws), and I just click on that.
Then, here's the tricky part, I have to add it to the actions before I
say OK. Then I have to add it to the list of rules before I say OK.
Now, the filter is all set and will work.
.
With this information I am able to get some results. My problem
apparently was working from the Configuration menu, Tools has two
creates, "Create filter rule" and "Create processing rule." I'm not sure
which one is the right one to use to sort my incoming messages into
folders but I'll muddle through there.
One other thing, how do I tell a it to go back and look at the inbox and
move mail from there into a directory using a new filter/process I have
created?
Thanks for the help.
