Email filtering

Email filtering can be done through Sieve. With Sieve, the filter rules are stored on the mailserver. So your emails are filtered in exactly the same way, regardless of the email client you use to read them.

You have several options to manage your filters. You can use

We recommend to use our webmailer in the first place. Especially vacation messages can be defined in a very comfortable way through the webmailer. See Email/Vacation for further details.

The following sections will explain how you get started to manage your email filters with these tools. Choose the one that fits you best. Be careful when editing filters from different clients, e.g. from the webmailer and Thunderbird. The clients may not work well together. The best approach is to always edit your filters with the same client.
