Hi Keith. If you use gmail, you can set filters from the gmail site
http://mail.google.com/mail/h and they will reflect in any email client
you use provided it's imap. So, iPhone, Outlook, Thunderbird, ETC will
all be the same. Gmail doesn't use folders, but instead uses labels. I
have this list going into a viphone label, removed from the inbox, and
that way it basically appears in a so-called viphone folder and not in
my inbox. It still fills the all mail folder, but that's how gmail
works. To delete all messages in a gmail account the best thing is to
set up the account in an email program like Thunderbird and then select
all and then delete.

Do you set up these filters at Gmail.com, through a separate Gmail app, or
through the settings app on the iPhone? Also, while we are talking about Gmail,
is there a quick and easy way to delete all messages? I have way too many in
all of my various folders, and would like to do a mass delete.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Other may fill in and add details or correct. No problem.
In my opinion a filter option is a great tool to keep order in our inbox.
Noticed that some have 3000 - 4000 emails after 3 days without checking the
email. I like many others are using gmail. A very good email client. Accesible.
Filtering using Label and filter. You can use the Mail account built in IOS
with gmail inside Mail IOS. If you make a new Label or a Map(this is the same
i.e..Label is an map in your mailbox list under inbox, sent, deleted etc).
If you don't have an gmail account you ca register one first on google.com Don't
remember exactly how, but it is pretty straight forward and not dangerous. Chose IMAP
if it is an option between IMAP or POP. IMAP synchronize email between iPhone, iPod,
Mac and iPad. If you want to use the built in Mail program in IOS you register first
on google.com then go to Settings > Mail > add Account. Find gmail in the
list.. If memory serves, you only have to set username and password inside the built
in IOS MAIL IF you already have signed an account on google.com
Making a Label or Map.
1. Log in to gmail.
2. Go to Settings > Label. Settings are in the upper right corner. A window
pops up and you find the Label knob.Above the inbox there are also an link called
make a filter and after above the inbox. Opening this, the same window opens.
3. Find the text box. Type the name viphone for the Label or Map(it is the
same). Hit setup knob. Now you have a Label or Map in your list under Mailbox
i.e. inbox, sent, all e-post etc.
Make a filter rule. It is easy. Gmail is accessible and straight forward in
this case at least.
1. Find the knob Filter in the same window above the table in a list above the
table. Hit filter. Now we want to filter [email protected] to go into
the Label or Map you made.
2. Find the knob "make a new filter". A new window with a table opens. Set a
filter. Make search criteria.
3. Find the text field "from". Do not type anything here - leave this field
empty.
4. Tab to "to" field Here you type [email protected].
5. Tab to subject. Leave this field empty.
6. Tab to "cotain these words". Leave this field empty.
7. Tab to "do not contain". Leave this field empty.
8. Tab to have attachment. Leave this empty.
9. Before you tab to next step, be aware of that the only field you enter any text or mark is in the field
"to". Tab to the knob "next step" A new window containing an headline called "make a
filter" a table called something lile chose an action or command for this filter.
10. Tab to jump over the inbox. Place a check mark here. Very important.
11. Tab to mark it with a star. Leave this empty.
12. Tab to use the label. Make a check mark here. Very important.
13. Tab once to a know with a drop down list.Find the Label or Map called
"viphone and hit it. Important: check that the Label viphone are chosen.
14. Tab to "delete it". Leave this field empty.
15. Tab to "do also use this filter on the conversations below. Leave this
field empty. Very important that this field is empty.
16. Tab to "make filter". Finished.
Now all the e-post sent to [email protected] will be sent to the label
or map called viphone. This Label will reside in the last list under your
inbox, sendt e-mail, delete etc. If it do not work, you have entered wrong
address i.e. email address, period. It works. If you do exactly as described
above.
You will receive exactly the same 3000 emails as before, but the will be in the
label viphone. You have therefore more space in your inbox for non list emails.
You can do these steps for any list or from any sender. You can test the other
options and delete those filters which do not works. Let us think about 8000
thousand emails. You can have 4 Labels or Maps containing 2000 in each. And
only have 70 emails in your inbox with more private subjects ore none email
list post.
Take care
