Filter incoming emails with simple sorting rules

This guide explains how to create sorting rules (in Standard mode) to automatically classify your incoming emails on Infomaniak according to certain conditions.

 

Preamble

  • These rules allow the following automatic actions, among others:
    • Delete or move messages from email addresses you no longer wish to see.
    • Forward to your spouse the emails from an email address so that you both receive them.
    • Copy messages that contain a specific keyword to a folder.
    • etc.
  • Unlike the sorting rules offered within email software/clients (Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail...), these rules will act directly on the server of your mailboxes before even the IMAP connection.
  • You can make a template for all the addresses of your Mail Service.
  • If you use an email software/client configured in POP, in parallel with Mail Infomaniak, messages classified in folders will no longer be downloaded by your application as the POP protocol only retrieves messages that are in your main inbox. To view the classified messages, it will be necessary to use the IMAP protocol or Mail only.
  • Depending on the offer you have, there is an advanced mode to create sorting rules in a dedicated language.
