How to Use Filters (Macintosh)

Many e-mail management functions in Eudora can be done automatically using filters.

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 Eudora, there are two ways to create filters - a simple way (Simple Filter) and a detailed way (Detailed Filter).
