Mail filter rule as a conjunction

Just to clarify discussion of the AND. It is coded as the Action on the first rule, and then the next rule in the ruleset is joined to this rule. Further when coding the rule with the AND action you can check the NOT checkbox to create a AND NOT conjunction.

Hi - Sorry that there is probably an obvious answer, but I've searched and can't find it. I want to take all emails that have a certain sender and set the message color. No problem - I can do that. But I also want to take messages that match this sender and are a certain age, say more than 2 days old, and move them to a folder. How do I conjunct rules? Thanks!

To test a condition and then perform multiple actions you can create a rule that checks for the condition, the sender in your case, then diverts the rule processing using a GOTO Label action.  In the Label you would set the additional rules and actions.  Below is what yours might look like.  Note the Always Exit commands as the last rule before the start of the Labels and at the end of the Label processing.  These are imperative to prevent rule processing from continuing down into the Labels and from Label to Label.  Obviously Labels need to be at the bottom rule list.  You can have as many Labels as you need.

If Sender = John  GOTO John

Alway Exit
Comment: Labels start here
Label John
Always set message color
If message date between 2 & 100 days old always move
Always Exit

There's also a Logical AND rule:

If Sender = John Logical AND
If message date 100 days old always move

Somtimes that makes it more readable.

 

<P>There's also a Logical AND rule:</P> <P mce_keep="true">If Sender = John Logical AND If message date 100 days old always move</P> <P mce_keep="true">Somtimes that makes it more readable.</P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P>
