Re: Looking for mail app that can filter messages
The problem with Mail Rules is that one wants some to be server side and some to be on your device. Outlook on Windows with Microsoft Exchange servers gives a very robust set of rules and generally keeps them on the server unless there are actions like save attachments or notify with a specific sound. In IOS Usually the only configuration is what sound will play and I think this is locked down on a mailbox level. Well, there is the VIP where you can have emails from specific contacts placed in a VIP folder and have a special tone for them. The VIP folder does a search type functionality and will look for messages from your VIPS in any mailbox. But if you want messages automatically moved then you really want that done by the mail server i.e. Google Outlook.com <http://outlook.com/> iCloud.com Otherwise, the rules can’t be relied on to remain active as you switch between devices. > On Mar 18, 2023, at 3:57 PM, Wayne Merritt wrote: > > Okay, now I understand.
