Filtering E-mail with Netscape 4.x

When you have several family members in your household, each with their own e-mail address, it's nice for each person to have their own place for their e-mail. If you want to check all of the e-mail at the same time, it is possible to filter each person's e-mail into their own folder.

The procedure below will show you how to do that. This procedure assumes that the e-mail address to be filtered is FamilyMember@att.net and you will need to replace this with the e-mail addresses of your friends or family members when you set up your filters. For example, for Uncle Bob you'll create a folder called Uncle Bob, and use his e-mail address.

To filter e-mail:

1. Launch Netscape Messenger.
2. From the File menu, choose New Folder
   .
3. In the Name field, enter a name for your folder. In this example we are using Family Member, you can use anything that is appropriate.
   
4. Click the OK button.
5. From the Edit menu, choose Message Filters.
   
6. Click the New button
   
7. Define your filter:
   1. In the Filter Name field enter a name for your filter that matches the folder you created. In our case the name will be Family Member.
   2. Select the to and contains options, and then enter the e-mail address you wish to filter, in our case it is FamilyMember@att.net.
   3. Select the Move to folder option and your new folder.
   4. You can also put information in the Description box, but that is optional.
   
   
8. After you click OK button.
9. Use the up and down arrows to show the order the filters will be applied.
   
10. Now, send a test message to test your filters. It's as easy as that.
