====== Organizing Emails with Mailbox Rules ======

You can use Mailbox Rules to organize your mailboxes by moving emails automatically to desired folders following pre-defined keywords.\\

In the following example, we want incoming emails containing the "Project 1" keyword to be moved to My Projects folder automatically.

1. Login to your webmail. Go to **Email** > **Rules** (under Configuration section).

5. OPTIONAL: There are two alternative options on the right:
  * Marked as Read: Check this option if you want the email to be marked as "Read" after it has been transferred to the selected folder.
  * Not Junk: Check this option if you do not want emails with the selected keyword to be classified as "Junk Mail".

6. OPTIONAL: Check the "Execute Junk filter first" option if you want to run the junk filter ([[faq:email:global_junk_filtering_setup|Global Junk Control]] or [[faq:email:junk_filtering_setup_for_users|Individual Junk Filter]]) on the emails first before applying the rules. If you want to run the rules on scheduled time only, please see [[#optionalrun_rules_by_schedule|the steps here]].
