Mac Mail - Creating a Rule
The following tutorial is designed to help you add mailboxes and rules to organize your email in the Mac program, Mail. Specifically it will demonstrate how to add a mailbox to receive messages from the EdTech listserv. If you have additional questions, please email: jbailey@evsc.k12.in.us
	First, create a new mailbox to hold the messages by clicking on the "+" in the bottom left-hand corner.
	In the dialogue box that opens, name the mailbox, and click OK. You should see that your new mailbox has been added to the list.
	Next, click the Mail menu and select Preferences.
	Choose the Rules tab at the top, and then click Add Rule.
	In this dialogue that opens, name the rule, and then designate how messages should be directed using the various drop-downs and text boxes. Click the "+"'s to add additional conditions or actions. In this example, if the "To:" of the message contains the listserv address "edtech@evsc.k12.in.us" it will be automatically filed in the mailbox we just created "edtech". Click OK when finished. Other rules might file messages "From" a certain person such as your Principal.
	Be sure the box next the new rule is checked so that it is in operation for new messages received.
	Now, all messages directed to me by the listserv are neatly filed for me in one folder. A number will appear beside the folder when new mail is deposited there. I can leave them there to review when I can, and they are distiguished from emails directly addressed to me that will end up in my inbox.
