Runbox filter question

[SwampDonkey]

Hi All,

I'm currently running a trial Runbox account because I want to move away from Fusemail in the not-too-distant future.

I'm retrieving emails from a couple of POP3 mailboxes. I'd like to create a filter that moves email to a specific folder depending on the mailbox from which it was retrieved. Is this possible in Runbox?

Thanks ... Pete

Hm....try filtering on the address to which the mail was initially sent. The filter could be something like:

Message where: to contains you@address.tld will be saved to folder foldername.

Marc,

Thanks for the suggestion. The rules engine on Runbox looks to be something of a weakness compared to Fusemail. That's a pity because everything else looks great (especially Webmail performance), but I'm going to need decent processing if I'm going to make the move permanent.

No rocket science needed, just some simple sorting, anti-spam analysis and then forwarding the non-spam to a Blackberry account.

Fingers crossed

You're welcome...I think the rules engine on Runbox is quite powerfull (for me, that is). Of course, I don't know what Fusemail's is like, since I haven't used that service for a very long time now.

POP Retrieved messages have a couple extra headers added to the messages so you can test for the headers. To test for a specific POP Retrieved account you can test if the headers contain the following header:

X-RMM-Trace: message from Username@ServerName

where Username and ServerName are the values you used in the POP Retrieve definition.

Rich,

I was about to post the same...filtering like this is more specific than the filter I described in my previous post.

I thought I'd give an update on this ....

By reading the helpfile and understanding the filter priority usage properly I've now got Runbox consolidating email from three POP3 accounts, forwarding the non-spam to my Blackberry and then sorting email into specific folders.

I'm finding the email consolidation to be reliable, the forwarding is fast, the web front end is fast and easy to use.

I've this morning stopped Fusemail from consolidating any more email. I need to work out the best way of getting my archived emails from Fusemail to Runbox but I don't see that being a problem and I've got plenty of time to do it.

Looks like I'm going to be subscribing to Runbox
