Hi Matt, Yes it is totally possible to do what you're asking. As mentioned below, you would be creating a new MailBox instead of a folder but, essentially, they are the same thing.
1. Stop Interacting With anything you may be Interacting With in the Mail window. 2. Navigate right until VO reads "New Mailbox Menu". 3. Activate that item with VO-space and choose New Mailbox. 4. Give your Mailbox a name. 5. Press cmd-comma to bring up your Preferences window. 6. Navigate to the Toolbar and Interact With it. 7. Select the Rules tab. You can now add rules to do exactly what you're asking. For example, if you wanted all messages on the MacVisionaries list to end up in a specific Mailbox, you would add a rule that says for all messages that contain "MavVisionaries" in the "To" field to automatically be moved to the New Mailbox you created. Hope this is clear enough for you. Later... On 2011-04-10, at 6:50 PM, Matt Dierckens wrote: > Ok, i've got two mailing lists with a lot of traffic that right now make my > main mailbox cluttered.
