![]() Both you and your computer will have difficulty processing the logic of excessive rules. Create a few basic rules and update the conditions of them as necessary. When creating rules on a Mac, don’t make too many. There are many benefits to doing it this way, including being able to see both the criteria of your mail rules and the folders from any computer. Click the OK button at the bottom right and then choose Apply when prompted. This will create a new row, where the condition is “From” the sender you clicked on. Click the + sign on the right side of the existing condition. Then go back to Mail > Preferences > Rules, click on the Vendors rule, and click Edit. That will result in an additional row being added to the list of rules. Click Done at the bottom right to exit mail settings.Ĭlick on a message from the sender you want to add to the existing rule’s conditions. When using, simply repeat the same steps as you used to create a rule. In the “Perform the following actions” section at the bottom, confirm the action says “Move Message” and choose the appropriate mailbox using the popup menu on the right. Then, click the OK button at the bottom right to save the new rule.Īt that point, a popup will be displayed asking “Do you want to apply your rules to messages in selected mailboxes?” This retroactively moves all messages that meet the conditions of the rule to the specified folder. Type a name for the rule like “Vendors,” then click on the button that says Any Recipient and change that field to “From.” Notice that the sender’s address from the example you chose is shown to the right in the appropriate field. For POP accounts (like Verizon, RoadRunner, and others hosted by most Internet service providers), the folders will not be visible on all your devices. For the Location field, choose a location on an existing email account, not “On My Mac.” That way, at least for IMAP accounts (like iCloud and Gmail) and Exchange accounts (like many corporate email accounts), the folders will be visible on all your devices. ![]() On a Mac, create a mailbox by choosing Mailbox from the menu bar and clicking on New Mailbox. On this step isn’t necessary because the new folder can be set up during the process of creating a rule, which is a nice feature not found on OS X. It might be a set of multiple rules.Ĭreate a mailbox for each type of undesired message The best solution might not be a one-size-fits-all rule.
