How to filter mail by contacts?

These can be a simple way to create separate mailboxes for particular contacts. What I'd like to do is set a rule for particular email address and have all those emails be sorted into a separate folder. I haven't found any good tutorials or suggestions in the community forum. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Create a mail box for each contact you want to move to that mailbox.  Next create a Rule in Mail's preference like this:
Create a mailbox and rule for each contact you want to do this to.

    how to create a mail filter which checks the incoming email address with valid address from my address book?

  • How to filter mail from an unknown ip address?

    I keep getting spam from different email addresses, and different ip addresses that have a common look and feel.  They generally are sent from some made up name, from some made up host, and have a one line description like "Save Money today, just go to this link: http://BLAH.com".  What I find is that the in the long header "received from" usually identifies "unknown" as part of the host.  I use dreamhost and they generally mark ip addresses that they don't know as 'unknown'.  Can I use this in a email filter to eliminated all received email from an unknown IP address?

    Yes, absolutely!  But this particular message not only fails the junk mail tests, but I also have spam sieve installed and it fails spam sieve.  Remember that it has a made up return path, so it's only the intermediate receiver that knows it's from an unknown IP address, I've taken out the to: and CC:

  • Transfer mail and contact from an old account to a new one ?

    Hi,
    The employe from the company where I got my internship are currently using mail address that are like [email protected] and the company wants them to
    use the new mail address [email protected] (in both case the employee are using outlook). 
    The problem is that they would like to keep their old mail and contact. I know you can do a manual archive but can you import it in a new account ? Will it also
    save the contact of the user ? Since it's a new account with a new domain, I really have no idea how to transfer mail and contact from the old account to the new one.
    Best regards,
    Dimitri

    This step-by-step article describes how to copy or how to move your Personal Address Book (PAB) from one computer to another
    computer. 
    On all installations, including those with no e-mail accounts, Microsoft Outlook creates a default Outlook Address Book. The Outlook
    Address Book consolidates all your Outlook Contacts folders. The Outlook Address Book is a virtual address book instead of a physical address book because Outlook does not store the Outlook Address Book as a file that is separate from your data store. The
    Outlook Address Book provides a view to your Contacts folders. 
    Unlike the Outlook Address Book, a personal address book (PAB) is a physical address book that Outlook stores on disk that is separate
    from your data store. You can add one PAB to an e-mail profile, and use the PAB to store additional contact information.
    You can use the PAB to store personal addresses or to store other contact information that you want to keep separate from your other
    Outlook data. Additionally, you can use a PAB to share addresses with other users. The PAB uses a .pab file name extension, and Outlook creates the PAB file when you add the PAB to your e-mail profile.
    How to identify the PAB file that your e-mail profile uses
    Start Outlook.
    On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
    Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or address books, and then click Next.
    Under You can choose a directory or address book below to change or remove it, click Personal Address Book, and then
    click Change.
    Note the path of your PAB file that is in the Path box. You will require this information to find the PAB file in step 3 in the "How to copy the PAB file to
    a second computer" section of this article. 
    For example, C:\Exchange\Mailbox.pab indicates that a PAB named Mailbox.pab is located on a Microsoft Exchange folder on your drive C.
    Click OK, and then click Finish to close all dialog boxes.
    On the File menu, click Exit.
    How to copy the PAB file to a second computer
    Quit all e-mail programs.
    Start Microsoft Windows Explorer.
    In the Folders pane, expand the folders to locate the PAB file whose path you took note of in step 5 in the "How to identify the PAB File that your e-mail profile
    uses" section of this article.
    Copy the PAB file to a 3.5 inch disk, and then use that disk to copy the PAB file to the second computer. Note the path of the PAB file on the second computer. 
    For example, if you copy the PAB file named Mailbox.pab to a folder that is named Address Book on drive C, the path of the address book is as follows:
    C:\Address Book\Mailbox.pab
    Alternatively, if your two computers are on the same network, you can copy the PAB file from the source computer to a network share on the second computer.
    For more information about how to perform this task in Microsoft Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or your online Help. 
    Note You can save the PAB file in any folder on the destination computer as long as you remember the location.
    How to configure your second computer to use the new PAB file
    If you do not have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you must add the service before
    you can add the new PAB file to your profile. To add the Personal Address Book service for the new PAB file, follow these steps:
    Start Outlook.
    On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
    Under Directory, click Add a new directory or address book, and then click Next.
    Click Additional Address Books, and then click Next.
    In the Additional Address Book Types box, click Personal Address Book, and then click Next.
    In the Path box, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second computer" section
    of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
    Click OK.
    If you receive the The E-mail account you have just added will not be start until you choose Exit from the file menu, and then restart Outlook prompt, click OK.
    On the File menu, click Exit, and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
    If you have the Personal Address Book service in your e-mail profile on the second computer, you can change the service to use the
    new PAB file. To change an existing Personal Address Book service to use the new PAB file, follow these steps:
    On the second computer, start Outlook.
    On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
    Under Directory, click View or change existing directories or Address Books, and then click Next.
    In the Outlook processes e-mail for these accounts in the following order list, click Personal Address Book, and
    then click Change.
    On the Personal Address Book tab, type the path of the PAB file that you copied to the second computer in step 4 in the "How to copy the PAB file to a second
    computer" section of this article. Alternatively, you can click Browse to locate the PAB file.
    Click the PAB file, click OK, and then click Finish.
    On the File menu, click Exit.
    Quit and then restart Outlook. Your new PAB is now available.
    Note There can be only one Personal Address Book service per e-mail profile. There is not a method for merging
    one PAB file with another. You can use the Outlook Import and Export Wizard to merge the active PAB entries in your Contacts folder. 
    Additionally, you can add both recipients and distribution lists to contacts that are in the Personal Address Book interface in
    Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. 
    For more information about the Outlook Import and Export Wizard, click Microsoft
    Office Outlook Help on the Help menu,

    the Search for box
    in the Assistance pane, and then click Start searching to

  • How to make Mail stop marking messages from my Contacts as Junk?

    I use Mail to access both my Gmail and Mac mail. Mail has begun marking as Junk messages from my Contacts, including VIPs. In Preferences, I have checked the boxes to have Contacts and Previous Recipients exempt from email filtering, yet they still sometimes end up marked as Junk and sent to the Junk folder. These are all Gmail messages: I use my iCloud account very little. I've unchecked the Trust junk mail headers... and Filter junk mail before applying my rules. I don't see how to make Mail leave my Gmail alone! Can anyone help?

    Google recommends turning off Apple mail Junk filters if using gmail filters.

    I use an imac and have moved my mail account (mobile me) to icloud.  How do I view my contacts, (address book) from icloud without typing them all over again?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If your contacts are correctly synced, then as you start to type the address in the address line of an e-mail it will auto complete.
    If this is not happening, check that your contacts are synced properly, and that you have contact syncing turned on in your system preferences >Icloud settings.

  • In e-mail how do I make a contact and can i import my contacts from my old pc to my new imac

    How do I make a contact in the e-mail program and can I import my e-mail contact list into my new iMac e-mail

    If by, "the e-mail program," you mean, Apple's "Mail" application, you make contacts by inputting them into the "Address Book" application. It's a separate application.
    Since I have no idea what you mean by, "my e-mail contact list," I can't recommend a method for transferring contacts to your "Address Book."
    You need to provide more information to get the answers that you need.
    What's the name of the e-mail program that you want to use, i.e., Mail, Outlook, Entourage?
    "New iMac e-mail," is not specific.
    What's the name of the e-mail program that you were using on your PC, i.e., Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.?
