TIP:
If you want to process junk mail, first turn on the Junk Mail filter. Click the Tools menu, click Junk Mail Filter, and then click the Enable Junk Mail Filter check box. Don’t actually create any junk mail rules that delete messages until you’ve watched the Junk Mail Filter process your mail for a couple of weeks. This will help to prevent the loss of important messages.
6. Specify what action to perform.
In the Then section, specify what action you want to perform on messages that meet your selection criteria. For example, you might want to select Move Message from the first drop-down list box and then specify a folder to move the selected messages to.
7. Click OK to complete the rule.
8. Manage your rules.
In the Mail Rules window, click the check boxes next to any rules you want to enable, and clear the check boxes next to any rules you want to disable. To run one rule before another, select a rule and use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to adjust its position.
TIP:
You can apply a newly created rule to messages you’ve already received. To do so, select the messages on which you want to use the rule (press Apple+A to select all messages in a folder), click the Message menu, click Apply Rule, and select the rule you want from the submenu.
