Webmail: Editing and Deleting Message Filters

The Message Filters page allows you to change the filters that are automatically applied to incoming mail for your email account. Message filters offer a way of screening and categorizing incoming mail messages. This includes redirecting incoming messages to other folders, as defined by the parameters of the specific filters. For more information on filters, see Creating a Message Filter.

Important!: The Forward to action, sends the message directly to the specified email address but does not save a copy on your system.

To change a message filter:

  1. From the Options pages (Webmail) click Message Filters.
    Result: The Message Filters page displays.
  2. Select the pencil icon to the right of the filter you want to change.
    Result: The Editing Filter page displays.
  3. Change the filter using the methods described in Creating a Message Filter. Click OK.
    Result: The system applies the changes.
To delete a message filter:
  1. Click Message Filters.
    Result: The Message Filters page displays.
  2. In the Modify column, select the X for the filter you want to delete.
  3. Result: The message filter is deleted. The page redisplays showing the remaining filters, or a message that you do not currently have any message filters.
