E-MAIL CLIENT --- Thunderbird e-mail filter setting
PLEASE REMEMBER:
The E-MAIL FILTER RULES —set through webmail service –works always and on any e-mail client you are using.
All e-mail client (pine, thunderbird, etc.) filter rules work after the rules managed through horde or squirrel, so it can not overwrite or overtake the rules fixed/managed through webmail-horde or webmail-squirrel.
If you use always Thunderbird inside Sissa network,
(please remember that you can not send e-mail using thunderbird if you are outside Sissa if you are using the SMTP server smtp.sissa.it… you have to use webmail instead),
- you can set/manage main e-mail filters rules (vacation, forward, spam filters, general filter rules) using webmail-horde or webmail-squirrel ONLY;
- OR set more filter rules which will be active when you run Thunderbird ONLY.
—-
If you are inside Thunderbird, you see, on the left of the Thunderbird window, the “Folder” column.
To create/change a rule:
- TOOLS –>Message Filters
- On the Message Filters window, into the box Filters for: choose the folder which represent your Sissa e-mail account (probably it will be username@sissa.it –where “username” is your SISSA account/username!–);
- to add a new filter click on New
- or to modify a filter: select the filter name (the name of the rule which you wish to change) and then EDIT
- on the Filter rules windows you have to choose:
- a filter name;
- a rule which checks on the incoming e-mails …. something…;
- the action;
- click on: OK.
Please remember: if you use another e-mail client or webmail service, this program/service does not check the incoming mail using this rule.
