Improve the filters
Hello all, I'm trying to use the filters and I think they could use a major upgrade because it is a real pain in the butt to use them. For example why can't i add a sender to a filter by right clicking on the mail and then in the menus the option would be there ? I have a "shopping" folder and when i get a notification from amazon or whomever it would be great to right clic this email and add the adress (or subject or whatever) to the "shopping" filter which moves the mail to the "shopping" folder, no ? On the other hand sometimes messages are filtered to a folder (which is what I usually do) without me knowing or asking for it. Is there a better and easier way to make it work ? thanks for the help

There is a way to create a filter from a message: Message/Create Filter From Message..., but this will create a new filter. In the example you describe, another method is create an address book named Shopping, then create a filter with the rule From + is in my address book + <select Shopping book>, with the Action to move the message to the Shopping folder. When a message arrives from a new sender, click the icon in the Header Pane next to the address, once, to add it to Personal Address Book, then click again to add it to a different book such as Shopping.
Thanks for the tip, it works well.
It would still be an intersting upgrade to have in the future because your procedure is not really super convenient, but thanks a lot because it works :)
