[MlMt] Retrieving settings

[Steven Taylor]

Here’s another way to think about email rules:

When I think about email rules in general, I usually think about rules 
that are made on the email server itself, usually through a webmail 
interface, rather than on the client. Server rules can work on all of 
your clients attached to the server, therefore only one set of rules is 
needed. Every client gets the benefit of those rules and you only have 
to write them once.

This all depends on the power of your rules engine on your email 
provider. Shameless plug for Fastmail; they have a wonderful rules 
system. Exchange/Outlook has a pretty good rules system, though it’s 
multi-step.
