Understanding the different email filters available

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

 

Preamble

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

 

Discover the possible conditions

The meaning of these different existing conditions and criteria is detailed below:

 

From

Allows you to filter messages based on the sender (and decide what to do with emails always coming from the same person or 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 main recipient, for example volunteers@domain.xyz).

Cc

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

Subject

Allows you to filter messages based on the subject of the message.

Reply to

Allows you to filter messages by looking at 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 certain words that would appear in the body of the incoming message.

Email type

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

In the case of using a condition "email type = advertising, social media", then the selected action will be performed before the advertising filtering if the latter was activated.
