The rest is pretty much self-explanatory. Don't forget to hit the "Save" button after you've created your first filter. Note that you can create as many filters as you want, each with a different name, and selectively enable/disable them. | ||||||||

Using ManageSieve on the Nevis mail serverOn the Nevis mail server, the Sieve protocol is handled by Pigeonhole ManageSieve Server![]() ![]() Using webmailThe simplest way to access and edit your Sieve configuration is:
A practical example.Reminder from the Mail Filters page: Every time a LArSoft![]() ![]() larsoftcommit@fnal.gov or uboonecommit@fnal.gov . Frequently I get dozens of such emails every day. I don't want to automatically delete them, since there may be something that impacts my work, but I don't want them cluttering my INBOX either.
So I use a mail filter to test if the "From" address of each email I receive includes larsoftcommit@fnal.gov or uboonecommit@fnal.gov . If it does, the mail is immediately sent to my LArSoft commit folder instead of my INBOX. Periodically I review the contents of that folder to see if any code changes are relevant to me.
