I have set up a few less than a gazillion rules in Apple Mail on my iMac. The rules sort my email into mailboxes.
For instance I have added my high school classmates (Louisville, Seneca class of ’63) to my address book. In the notes field for each contact I have put Seneca. Next I created a mailbox called Seneca. Finally I set a rule that says “If sender is member of group Seneca perform the following actions <Move message to mailbox Seneca>” When Mail on my iMac is open, all messages from my class mates move to the folder Seneca and are marked as unread. But they do not show up marked as unread in the Seneca mail box on my iPhone or iPad. So I thought to create a rule in the cloud but I don't have the option of “Sender is member of group" I can quit mail on my computer before I go out then all messages come to my iphone/ipad in my main inbox, I can read them but when I return home and open Mail the messages are in my in box and I have to apply rules on all the new mail to sort them appropriately (or move them manually). So my choices are to quit the mail app when I leave home, read my messages on my iPhone / iPad and then apply rules to my messages when I return home. Or leave the mail program open on my iMac when I leave home and not know that I have received a message when I check mail on my iPhone / iPad. Rhetorical question: Why are the rule making capabilities in the Mail in the cloud equal to the rule making capabilities in Mail on my iMac? Any suggestions?
