Module 2 Tasks - Email Question 4

Yes yet another - perhaps I could have entered them all in one post, but I'm a modular girl at heart :-)

4. What sorts of filters or rules do you have set up, and for what purpose?

• I have McAfee Spam Filter running in outlook express, while not a filter in the traditional sense of the word it does move email to a SPAM folder if any parts of the email match a set of predetermined rules for what constitutes a spam email.

• I have folders set up for any regular incoming mail that I receive so that I can immediately file message from a particular person/organisation in the relevant folder. A lot of the regular stuff I receive are account receipts, which I don't really have to look at on a daily basis so I have my filter dump them into folder thats I can just checkout when looking at my bill paying or accounts. Also newsletters from different organisations that I might refer to every now and then.
  
• the rule for my Telstra bills for example looks like this
• Apply this rule after the message arrives
  Where the From line contains 'info@online.telstra.com.au'
  Move it to the Telstra folder

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
