In this tutorial, we will show you how to create an email filter in Webmail. Email filters allow you to perform a specific task such as sending “Sales” emails to a specific folder, or automatically deleting email from a specific sender. Filters can really help you organize your emails by moving them to corresponding folders, un-cluttering your Inbox.
SquirrelMail is no longer included in cPanel by default. It reached its end of life in 2013. InMotion Hosting has disabled SquirrelMail from Webmail but you can still install and use it for managing email if needed.
Create Email Filter in Webmail
- Log into Webmail with your email address.
Click your email address on the top right of the screen.
Click Email Filters in the drop-down menu.
On the Email Filters page click the Create a New Filter button.
Enter a name for your filter in the first field.
In the Rules section, choose your options as needed. This will differ based on your specific needs. In my example, I am creating a filter for any email that contains “Sales confirmation” in the subject.
In the Actions section, click the drop-down menu and choose what you want to do with filtered emails. In my example, I want the emails delivered to a “Sales” folder.
Once you have chosen your filter settings, click the Create button.
You are finished when you see a message stating “You have successfully created a new filter. You can create another one now, or you can return to the filters list.”
You will also see your filter listed in the Current Filters section of the main Email Filters page.
Congratulations, now you know how to create an email filter in Webmail!
