2. Select the Add a Rule (+) button. 

3. A form listing the options for the rule will appear. It will automatically fill in some information based on the highlighted message. 

4. Set the rule options according to your preferences. If the information that was filled in automatically is not what you want, you can change it.

• Click on the arrows to pick the condition(s) that this rule should meet.
• Then under Do the following: select the action to take on the messages that meet the condition(s).
• Make the rule active by checking the Enabled box.
• You can change the Rule name if you do not like the default name.
