Set up rules to filter email in Mail on iCloud.com
You can set up rules to filter incoming emails or reorganize emails you’ve already received. For example, you can create a rule that sorts emails from a particular sender into a specific folder. You can edit and delete these rules at any time.
Set up rules to filter email
Go to icloud.com/mail, then sign in to your Apple Account (if necessary).
Tap
at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Settings.Tap Rules, then tap
in the top-right corner.Enter a name for the new rule.
Below Message, use the pop-up menu and text field to specify the type of emails you want to filter.
Below Action, use the pop-up menu or field to specify an action for the rule.
Tap Add.
You can have up to 500 rules.
Important: If you apply rules to a folder and then delete the folder or change its name, make sure to update the rules for those folders accordingly. For example, you can’t forward emails to a deleted folder.
Change or remove email filtering rules
Go to icloud.com/mail, then sign in to your Apple Account (if necessary).
Tap
at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Settings.Tap Rules, then select a rule.
Do any of the following:
Change a rule: Specify new filtering conditions in the pop-up menus and text fields, then tap Save Changes.
Delete a rule: Tap Delete Rule.
Note: It may take up to 15 minutes for new or changed rules to take effect on incoming emails.
