If you want certain new emails to be moved into a specific folder (local or cloud), then this is how you can setup Mail:
- Open Mail
- Click on the Mailbox drop down menu - New Mailbox (Folder) - Select location On My Mac - Name it (example: Payments or Banking ...)
- Click on the Mail drop down menu - Preferences - Rules - Add Rule - Name of you rule (example: Payments or Banking...)
Then set the condition for one or more email sender (bankA, bankB etc.) to read as follow:
If any of the following conditions are met: From Contains bankADOTcom
Perform Move Messages to mailbox Payments (or whatever you named it you can select it from the drop down)
Add additional condition with the +
Note: If you want the new folder to be available on the go (such as iphone, webmail etc.), then choose the location of the new Mailbox (Folder) to be your abcdATgmailDOTcom or abcdATicloudDOTcom account. Once you created a rule, you can then also run this rule to move all the existing email which match the selected criteria to the new folder, instead of manually dragging each one over.
