Understanding the different email filters available

Update 08/06/2026

This guide details the various options available in the incoming email filtering tool (based on sorting rules) of Mail Infomaniak.

 

Introduction

  • Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information on setting up sorting filters in your Infomaniak email.

 

Discover the possible conditions

The meaning of these different conditions and criteria currently in place is detailed below:

 

From

Allows you to filter messages based on the sender (and decide what to do with emails that always come from the same person or even the same domain, for example).

A

Allows you to filter messages based on the recipient (if you receive an email that is always addressed to a specific primary recipient, for example benevoles@domain.xyz).

Cc

Allows you to filter messages based on the recipient mentioned in the Cc field (who therefore receives the email as a copy in addition to the main recipient).

Subject

Allows you to filter messages based on the message subject.

Reply-to

Allows you to filter messages by examining the content of the reply-to field (specific condition - example).

Size

Allows you to filter messages based on their size.

Message content

Allows you to filter messages based on specific words found in the body of the incoming message.

Email type

Allows you to filter messages based on the x-infomaniak-type header, the value of which can be ham, spam, transactional, and bounce.

If you use the condition "email type = advertising, social networks", the selected action will be performed before the ad filtering, if the latter is enabled.
