Configuration -> Filtering 2. Give the filter in question a name (any name will do) 3. Hit the upper define button to define the condition on which the filter should act. 4. If you for example want to filter messages from a certain user press the "Match Criteria" pull down and select "Header" 5. Now you can select which message header to use by pressing the "Name" pull down and in the case of matching a user's mail address select "From" and enter the user's address in the empty box below the "Name" box. 6. Now press "Add" and "OK" 7. You have now defined the filter condition and you remain the define what the filter should do. Press the lower define button. 8. It comes up with the action "Move" as default. Press the "Action" pull down to see the various possible actions. Select one of them and pick the target destination through the "Select" button. 9. Once the destination is selected you press "OK", then "Add" and "OK"- 10. Your filter is now defined and you activate it by pressing "Add" an "OK". Have fun. -- Regards, Erik P.
