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. If you specify multiple criteria, messages must meet all of the specified criteria before they are filtered.

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.
