Sort existing e-mails according to rules

This guide explains how to sort e-mails currently present in your Infomaniak inbox or subfolders, in order to e.g. quickly delete specific messages responding to the same structure, classify messages according to their subject or sender, etc.

Quickly sort an email account

Unlike the guideSort incoming emails according to rules (Sieve filters) which details how to set up filters from the Infomaniak interface that will apply to all future incoming messages, it is possible with the free Thunderbird software to apply sorting rules on messages already arrived and already present in a courier account:

1. Install and then open Thunderbird.
2. Set up your Infomaniak mail within the application.
3. Open the menu Tools and click on Filters:
   
4. Check the selected address and click on New...
   
5. Configure the filter according to your preferences (here the rule is that all messages whose subject contains ER will be moved into the Trash):
   
6. Click on Okay. to return to the list of your filters and click on Run Now:
   
7. The result is immediately visible as the messages are moved into the basket and disappear from the window.
