email filtering

Automated message sorting

Email filtering is the automated process of sorting, categorizing, or blocking incoming email messages based on predetermined criteria.

Filters may route messages to specific folders, flag them as spam, or reject them entirely based on sender, subject line, keywords, or other attributes.

Most email services include built-in filtering, and users can create custom rules to manage their inboxes.

I set up email filtering to send all newsletters straight to a separate folder.
