What is the difference between Filtering, Folder Processing, Pre/Post-processing?

0

Filtering rules are global. Messages received on an Account can be filtered in 2 ways, automatically or manually. To have the messages filtered automatically the option ‘Filter messages on receiving’ must be checked on the ‘Receive’ tab in the Account Preferences. Manual filtering can be performed by using ‘/Tools/Filter all messages in folder’ or ‘/Tools/Filter selected messages’. Folder Processing rules apply only to the messages contained in that particular folder. A folder’s Processing rules are applied upon entering that folder, or on program startup if ‘Process at startup’ is checked in a folder’s Properties, or on demand by using ‘Run processing rules’ from the folder’s context menu. Pre and post-processing rules are global rules which are executed before and after the folder processing rules, respectively. In other words: Whenever you select a folder, first pre-processing rules are applied, then folder specific processing rules and lastly post-processing rules. See ‘age’-questi
