To sort incoming messages

By using the Inbox Assistant, you can have incoming messages that meet certain criteria sent to the folders you want. For example, individuals using the same e-mail account can have their messages delivered to their personal folders. Or all mail from a certain person can be automatically routed to a specific folder.

You can also specify that certain messages are automatically forwarded to a contact in your address book, or that message recipients are automatically sent a file.

1. On the Tools menu, click Inbox Assistant.

2. Click Add.

3. Type the criteria you want the incoming messages to match.

4. In the Perform the following action area, select a check box, and then click the folder, person, or file you want to send the matching incoming messages to.

Tips

• You can specify multiple filters or rules for incoming messages.

• To change the priorities by which messages are sorted, click the Move Up or Move Down buttons in the Inbox Assistant dialog box.
