E-mails That Ask Me To Send The Message To 10 Of My Friends? Question: I frequently receive e-mails that advise me
to not "break the chain" and forward the news item, consumer
warning, or touching poem to 10 of my friends. I usually go ahead and do it,
figuring that people will enjoy reading the messages and may gain something
from them. Is this a bad idea? Sites Of The Month - Great Sites To Check Out In September TV Time Short Tutorial - Organizing E-mail Into Folders Using Rules In our August '09
issue, we covered how to create new e-mail folders and manually move e-mails
into them. This month we're following up with tutorials on how to organize
e-mail into folders using rules or filters—a convenient, automatic way to
file e-mails, which is an alternative to using the manual method. 1. With Outlook Express or Windows Mail open,
click your cursor arrow on "Tools" from the menu bar. Select
"Message Rules" from the resulting drop-down menu and then select
"Mail..." from the resulting submenu. 2. The New Mail Rule window will open. Choose
the conditions for your rule. For this tutorial, we will select "Where
the From line contains people" in the "Select the Conditions for
your rule:" section. 3. Next, select the actions for your rule. For
this tutorial, we will select "Move it to the specified folder" in
the "Select the Actions for your rule:" section. 4. In the "Rule Description (click on the
underlined value to edit it):" section, click on the "contains
people" link. 5. The Select People window will open. Here you
can manually type in names and click the "Add" button or you can
choose people from your Address Book for Outlook Express or Windows Contacts
for Windows Mail. For this tutorial, we will select people saved in the
Address Book or Windows Contacts by clicking on the "Address
Book..." or "Contacts..." button. 6. The Rule Addresses window will open. Select
from the list of saved contacts and click on the "From" button.
Once you have selected all individuals to include in your rule, click on the
"OK" button. 7. The Select People window will reappear
listing the contacts that you have selected for your rule. Click on the
"OK" button. 8. The New Mail Rule window will reappear and
the selected people for your rule will now appear in the "Rule
Description (click on the underlined value to edit it):" section. 9. Next select the folder location into which
you want the messages stored by clicking the "specified folder"
link in the "Rule Description (click on the underlined value to edit
it):" section. 10. The Move window will appear. Select the
appropriate folder you want the messages stored in and click on the
"OK" button. 11. In the "Name of the rule:"
section, type in the rule name and click on the "OK" button to
close the New Mail Rule window. 12. To create more rules, click on the
"New" button in the Message Rules window. Otherwise, click on the
"OK" button to save your changes. Organizing E-mail
Into Folders Using Filters ... 1. With Thunderbird open, click your cursor
arrow on "Tools" from the menu bar. Select "Message
Filters..." from the resulting drop-down menu. 2. The Message Filters window will open. Click
on the "New..." button. 3. In the "Filter name:" field, type
in the name of the filter. 4. When the Filter Rules window opens, choose
the conditions for your filter in the "For incoming messages that:"
section. Click the button next to "Match all of the following,"
"Match any of the following," or "Match all messages"
depending on how general or specific you want your filter to be. 5. For this tutorial, we will select
"From" and "is" from the drop-down menus. 6. Type in the person or phrase you want to
filter in the empty box to the right. 7. In the "Perform these actions:"
section, choose "Move Message to" from the first drop-down menu. In
the second drop-down menu, choose the file location you want the message to
be stored in, and then click on the "OK" button. 8. The Message Filters window will reappear and
you should see the filter you just created. Highlight the filter, click on
the "Run Now" button, and then close the Message Filters window. Organizing E-mail
Into Folders Using Filters ... 1. With Mail.app open, click your cursor arrow
on "Mail" from the menu bar. Select "Preferences" from
the resulting drop-down menu. 2. The Preferences window will open. Click on
the "Rules" button. 3. Click on the "Add Rule" button. 4. When the Rules window opens, type a name for
the rule in the field next to "Description." Now choose the
conditions for your rule by clicking on the button in the line that reads,
"If any of the following conditions are met:" Your choices are
"any" or "all." "All" is the more restrictive
choice. 5. Next, set the specific conditions for the
rule. For this tutorial, we will select "From" and
"Contains" from the drop-down menus. 6. Type in the person, phrase, or e-mail
address you want to filter in the empty field to the right. 7. In the "Perform the following
actions:" section, choose "Move Message" from the first
drop-down menu. In the second drop-down menu, choose the file location you
want the message to be stored in and then click on the "OK" button.
8. If you would like the new rule immediately
applied to selected mailboxes, click the "Apply" button. Otherwise,
click "Don't Apply." 9. The Rules window will reappear and you
should see the filter you just created. Click on the red dot in the upper
left corner to close the window.
