How to Use Filters (Windows)

A filter can be thought of as a personal "valet" or "butler" that takes your mail and does certain things to it that you specify. One kind of valet might watch for particular mail from a mailing list and move it into a mailbox, open the message, and play a sound. Another might look for other kinds of mail and give it a label color, a high priority, and a new subject line.

In our example pictured above, Eudora will automatically transfer any mail From: jseau @eudoramail.com to a mailbox named Linebackers, then it will play a sound.
