You can create Smart Mailboxes that automatically organize email messages into a single mailbox, based on criteria you specify.For example, a Smart Mailbox could display all the emails you receive about a specific project, regardless of which mailboxes they’re stored in. Whenever you select your Smart Mailbox in the sidebar, emails that match its criteria are listed. Include messages from the Trash or Sent mailbox: Select the checkbox to include emails that are in those mailboxes in your Smart Mailbox. Set the scope of multiple conditions: If you have at least two conditions, a pop-up menu appears that lets you choose whether an email must meet any or all of the conditions to be included in the Smart Mailbox. To remove a condition, click its Remove button. If you chose “Sender is member of group” in the first pop-up menu, you can choose a group name in the second pop-up menu.Īdd or remove conditions: To set additional conditions, click the Add button. Set the first condition: Click the first pop-up menu, choose an option (such as From, Subject, or Sender is member of group), then complete the condition using the other menus or fields that are shown (they vary depending on your choice in the first pop-up menu).įor example, if you chose From, you can choose “contains” or “begins with” in the second pop-up menu, then enter a sender’s name in the text field.
