+=mail Filters=
+''' Handout for mails filtering in Thunderbird [http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/images/2/23/Thunderbird_mails_filter.odt Click her]''' <br/>
+Filters help you place your incoming mail in different folders so that you're not overwhelmed by a large number of messages in your inbox. Filters can also perform a number of other actions like marking messages as read, or forwarding messages to another email address.
+
+One way to use a filter is to move messages to a certain folder. For example, if you receive many emails from TOER and you do not want to see them pile up in your inbox, set up a filter that moves your messages from the inbox to a folder called "TOER".
+
+== Setting up a filter ==
+# '''Right''' click on the '''inbox''' and click on '''new folder'''.
+# Name the folder whatever you like. For example, name the folder "TOER".
+# Click '''Create Folder'''. Your new folder will show up in the Folders pane.
+
+[[File:mail filter 1.png | 300px]]
+
+# Go to the '''Tools''' menu and click '''Message Filters'''.
+# Click '''New''' to open the dialog box for setting up a filter.
+# Name the filter whatever you like. Following the example, call it "TOER filter". <br/> Then, select an option from the drop-down menu - for example, T'''o contain'''. This is where you can choose what type of filter you want. Filter any messages comes to [mailto:tsmathsscienceupstf@googlegroups.com tsmathsscienceupstf@googlegroups.com] ID You can click the plus symbol to add more filters and also you can filter subject wise.<br/> [[File:mail filter 2.png| 400px]]
+# On the same dialog box, click the drop down menu next to '''Move Message To''' and select a folder. This is where you would go to '''Local Folders''' and find the folder you created. Following the example, select the "TOER" folder.
+# Click the '''OK''' button and your filter is ready to go!
+# To test your filter, click the '''Run Now''' button in the "Message Filters" dialog box. Make sure '''Inbox''' is selected to the left of this button. <br/> [[File:mail filter 3.png|400px]]
+# Check the new folder you created to confirm that messages from your inbox were moved based on your filter.
+
