Some of us "lurkers" are just waiting for "other" and "advanced"
activity/conversation to die down a bit before we interject our
novice/basic questions.
For example: I can't seem to make my filters work, and I suspect I'm
not doing them correctly. I find the Help in TB! to be less than
clear in some instances. Filters are one instance.
Here's what I did (what I clicked on):
Account
Sorting Office/Filters
Incoming Mail (maybe I should have clicked on "Kill filters"???)
New
New Rule
Rule tab:
Name: gave it a name
Source folder: Inbox
Move messages to folder: Trash
Filtering strings:
Strings: a person's name
Location: Sender
Present: Yes
Rule is: Active
Alternatives tab: nothing
Actions tab:
Delete the message: checked
Delete the message from the Server: checked
Options tab:
Continue processing with other filters: checked
Send generated messages: Queue in Outbox
But I still get messages from "a person's name" in my inbox.
What did I do wrong or forget to do?
Thanks,
