This guide explains how to sort emails currently present in your Infomaniak inbox or in subfolders, for example to quickly delete specific messages with the same structure, classify messages by subject or sender, etc.

Preamble

• Unlike the guide Sort incoming emails based on certain criteria which details how to set up, from the Infomaniak interface, filters that will apply to all future incoming messages, it is possible with the free software Thunderbird to apply sorting rules to already received and already present messages in an email account.

Quickly sort an IMAP mailbox

To do this:

1. Install and then open Thunderbird.
2. Configure your Infomaniak mail within the application.
3. Open the Tools menu and click on Filters:
   
4. Check the selected address and click on New...
   
5. Configure the filter according to your preferences (in this case the rule is that all messages with the subject containing ER will be moved to the trash):
   
6. Click on OK to return to the list of your filters and then click on Run now:
   
7. The result is immediately visible as the messages are moved to the trash and disappear from the window.
