[MlMt] Rules

[askedrelic at gmail.com]

I have 3 accounts and I only really setup rules on the INBOX of each 
account. That is my organization around rules; I have "work email" rules 
and "personal email" rules. I don't set Conditions or Submailboxes. I 
suppose you create rules at some global level and then use the 
Conditions to say where to apply the rules...

I only create Rules, which are applied to every new email in that inbox, 
when the email arrives (that is the default behavior of how rules work).

Here are my rules for my personal account, to organize my email into 
folders: https://files.asktherelic.com/20180119-0933-d8dzq.png

And the rule for this mailing list looks like:

When you are testing rules, you can go to the menu Mailbox > Apply Rules 
of "INBOX" and force the rules to run again. I do this when my rules 
don't seem to be trigger.

Cheers
