EDITING EXISTING FILTER RULES
This page enables you to edit existing filter rules. To do this, simply follow the procedure below:

  1. Select a new header field (From:, To:, Cc:, Bcc:,Subject:) which the Mailsort engine must scan to compare the pattern.
  2. Replace the old pattern recorded in the contains field that the Mailsort engine must search for in the selected header.
  3. Select another action ( move to, copy to, forward, send vacation, reject ) that you want the Mailsort engine to apply for messages that meet the defined criteria. This will tell the LMDA where to send a particular message.

  4. Choose your preferred mailbox (e.g INBOX, OUTBOX, NEWS, engr@ima.com) from the mailbox list provided.
  5. NOTE: You can use any IMAP compatible client to add additional mailbox folders for the Message Store account.

    NOTE: You must have an existing shared mailbox account to be able to move your mail to other mailboxes. The example, engr@ima.com mailbox, was created in the Shared Mailbox Account of the Message Store. If you do not have an existing shared mailbox account in the Message Store, the pull-down menu for the actions Move to and Copy to will only contain the INBOX and OUTBOX mailboxes.

  6. Select either Yes or No to configure the Filter Continuously option.
  7. Selecting Yes will instruct Mailsort to filter messages starting from the first filter statement up to the last filter statement. It means that Mailsort will filter messages sequentially from the first filter rule up to the last filter rule when multiple filtering rules are defined. A possible example would be for a single message to match multiple rules.

    Selecting No will instruct Mailsort to stop the filtering process for the succeeding filter rules when a filter is matched.

  8. Click the Ok button to save the changes made on the existing filter.
