Email Rules

How to make Mail automatically handle your mail.

This page outlines how to get Mail to handle certain emails for you by using Rules.

This set of guidelines does not represent the only way to do this. If you undertand the concepts here, you can choose which of the options you will use to suit your situation. To explain the concept, let's use an example of wanting to color all emails from a certain person purple.

1. Go to Mail, Preferences... and click on Rules tab then "Add Rule" button.
2. Fill in the boxes like the graphic below. (This will take all incoming messages from first.last@asfm.edu.mx and color their text in the email list purple.) Please note, you can do a variety of actions using these rules as you can see from the list below.
