Creating a new Rule

To create a new rule, do the following: Select Rules… from the Mail menu. The Rules dialog box is displayed. To add a new rule, press the New button. A Rule wizard is displayed showing the Details page.

Enter a name for the rule, for example, 'File all mail from boss to Important folder'. By default, the rule is enabled. You may disable the rule by un-checking the Enable check box. By default, the rule will be private to you. If you are a Supervisor, then you may make this rule public to all users by checking the Public check box.

Press Next to show the Event page. Select the event for which you wish the action to be performed. In the case of the example, you would select the event 'On Receive mail'.

Press Next to show the Condition page. Select the condition which must hold true for the action to be performed. In the case of the example, the condition would be 'Mail Sender is specific OfficeTalk User'. When you select this condition, a drop down list of OfficeTalk users will appear. Select your boss from this list.

Press Next to show the Action page. Select the action that you wish to perform. In the case of the example, the action will be 'Move to folder'. When you select this action, a drop down list of mail folders will appear. Select the folder to which you wish to file the mail. Press Finish. The rule is now active.
