Configure User specific Filters for MPE's Mail Services
Each user has the opportunity to preprocess his incoming mail stream by a filter. Usual applications are:
- storing or dropping tagged Spam messages depending on the score
- putting mails from certain senders or with special subjects in different folders as inbox
Calling the Filter Editor
Login to [https://mail.mpe.mpg.de/tpl MPE mail user interface https://mail.mpe.mpg.de/tpl] and choose menu 'Edit Filter'
- when clicking the 'save' button a syntax check is performed. If no errors where found, the new filter rules are installed
- use the 'default' button to reload the MPE default filter setup
- use the 'back' button to go back to the main menu
