Hello Peter,

Well by manually, you mean you have to select the menu command once
every couple of mail checks? If that's what you mean, then yes, you
have to do it manually.

Depends how fancy you want to get. Suppose I want to look for
(januk AND canada.com) OR (januk AND something else)
This will catch all mail with my address even if I put in some spam
blocking stuff.
The other thing you might want to do is search for one string in one
location or another string in another location. This is most easily
accomplished using Alternatives. For example, maybe you want all mail
that is not directly addressed to you and any mail you send yourself.
Then your filter conditions would be:
Main:
String Location Presence
your address Recipient No
Alternative:
String Location Presence
your address Sender Yes
TB's filtering conditions allow for huge flexibility, even without
regular expressions. Add regular expressions to the mix and you can do
*very* fancy things.
