Filtering Pegasus 2.5 for Windows email messages

1. In Pegasus 2.5 for Windows choose the

 - Tools menu
 - Mail filtering rules
      (as shown at right)

and then (picture below)


 - Edit new mail filtering rules
 - Rules applied when folder is opened
       as shown below 

 

 

(it looks real ugly here but it'll
make sense when you see it live)

 

2. The "Rules for new mail" dialog box that pops up (not pictured) has an Add Rule button.  Click it.  You get a new dialog box that says "Edit Rule" but oh well, it's where you add the new rule.  A snapshot of the settings for the Edit Rule dialog box is shown below, up to the point where you put your mouse over the "Action to take" scroll arrow and click and choose Move.

 

3. When you click on Move, the next dialog box pops up, "Select a folder" (see below).  If you already have a LABSAFETY folder in your Pegasus mail, and you want to use it, choose it (double click or click once and then click on the "Open" button).

If you need to create a new folder for your labsafety emails, click on the New button.  Yet another dialog box (called "Enter folder...." and not shown here) comes up for you to give the new folder a "Long name," click OK.  The Enter folder.... box will close and the new folder will now be available in the "Select a folder" dialog box.  MAKE SURE to choose the newly-created folder; it will not automatically be selected.  (Either double click it or click once and then click the Open button, and the "Select a folder dialog box will close.

 

4. At this point you'll be back to the Edit Rule dialog box (which has been open underneath everything).  Click OK.

5. Now you're back to the Rules for new mail dialog box, where you click Save.  And you're done.
