Create folders and filters

To keep track of incoming emails, it makes sense to have them sorted and filtered automatically. We recommend creating separate folders for the distribution lists students, active-students and bachelor-ii (or other study programme distribution lists). The following describes how folders and filters can be created via the webmail interface.

Create folders and filters

Create folder

Create a folder for the category to be filtered (see video)

Find out the list ID

Select email (from the category to be filtered)
Click on the cogwheel button
click on “Show source text
search for list-id search
- Examples: active-students.tu-ilmenau.de, ref-soziales.stura.tu-ilmenau.de

Create filter

Click on “Settings” / “Filter” (tab) / ”+“ (at the bottom of the “Filter” column)
Give the filter a name
Select 'applies to all of the following rules'

… instead of 'Subject
next to list-id (exactly this text)
select contains
then enter the list-id found (e.g. active-students.tu-ilmenau.de)

add another rule with the plus to the right of the first rule
select 'Subject' 'does not contain'
enter '[SPAM]' in the text field behind it

select 'Move message to' underneath
select the folder created for this message category
