Changing Your Mail Rules
If your server is configured to support server-side mail rules, you can create mail rules
to filter or transfer mail. For example, if you subscribe to mailing lists, you can have
emails from them transfer into their own mail folder. You’ll still receive mailing list
messages, but they won’t clutter your inbox.
To view mail rules:
1 While viewing My Page, click “settings.”
2 Select Mail Rules.
To add mail rules:
1 While viewing mail rules settings, use the If pop-up menus to choose criteria for
transferring or filtering received emails.
2 Choose a destination for the email from the “Transfer Email to” pop-up menu.
3 Click Add New Rule.
4 Click Save.
To delete mail rules:
1 While viewing mail rules settings, click Delete next to rules you want to delete.
If no rules are shown, you don’t have mail rules.
2 Click Save.
Setting Up Vacation Notices
If your server is configured to support server-side mail rules, you can set up vacation
notices. If you enable vacation notices, if someone sends you an email during a
specified period of time, an email is automatically sent to them. If they send you
multiple emails in a day, they are sent a single vacation notice email that day.
If you’re away from your email for an extended period of time, setting up a vacation
notice is a good way to inform people of your unavailability and your expected
return date.
To set up a vacation notice:
1 While viewing My Page, click “settings.”
2 Select Vacation Notice.
3 To enable vacation notices, for Enabled, select On; to disable vacation notices,
select Off.
4 Click the date next to Vacation Begins and then select the date when notifications will
start being sent.
5 Click the date next to Returning On and then select the date when notifications will
stop being sent.
