Email can become cluttered very fast. Before you know it, you can have tons of new email messages in your inbox, before you have even gone over the older ones. Keeping older emails can become very confusing also. The best way to keep track of your emails in the Mail app is to use “rules”, which will help you file your emails

.

The “rules” option, built right into the Mail app will let you organize your emails into separate inbox’s and folders. Say for example, that you write a blog and the comments on them come into your email that you also use for general use or work. Your inbox becomes easily cluttered and you wished that your blog emails would file into a different inbox. This can easily be set up using the “rules” section of the Mail app. Here is how…

1. Open Mail

2. Click on “Mail” in the menu bar and hit preferences. From here, click on rules.

3. Set up any rule you’d like. The best way would be to organize the separate inbox’s by author or subject line. For example, I have a different inbox for my TechPwn emails, which separates them from my University emails. So, I click “add rule”, name the inbox “TechPwn”, and then set up my rules. I do it by author, so I click From, Contains, and then @techpwn.com.

You can mess around with different selections that will let you set up inbox’s for just about anything. You could organize your Mail to separate your tech emails, work emails, and general emails, or just about anything you want. This is an awesome way to keep your email organized. Mess around with the rules section and you will never live without it again.
