Adding A Rule

Rules will scan specific incoming messages for the sender's email address, subject line, key words, or phrases. You can set the rule to either delete the message immediately or be filtered directly into one of your folders. This allows you to set up a sorting process for all of your mail, not just junk mail.

1. Click on the Settings tab.
2. Click on the Rules link.
3. Click on the Add Rule button.
4. Enter a name for the new rule in the Rule Name textbox.
   • Select a radio button to indicate if this rule applies to all of your email accounts or only your murraystate.edu account.
5. Select from Subject, From, To, Cc, or Attachment options.
6. Select from Contains, Does Not Contain, Starts With, Ends With, or Equals options.
7. Enter the key word you wish to apply to rule.
8. Select appropriate action to perform.
   • If you select the Discard radio button, the email message will be deleted without ever entering your Inbox.
   • If you select the Move To radio button, select a folder from the drop-down list. The message will be moved to the folder that you select.
9. Click on the Save button near the top of the page.
