• 8. Now click Add and then OK to close the Type Specific Words dialog.

• 9. Click the the blue highlighted specified link in “Move it to the specified folder” and the Move dialog appears. Click the folder these messages are to be moved to. The New Folder button can be used to create a new folder if required.

To repeat the process for another bucket, click the New button in the Rules window. When all the necessary rules have been created, click OK and you're done!

Note: In the POPFile web interface, under the Buckets tab, make sure Subject Header Modification is turned on for all buckets you want to be able to use Windows Live Mail filters on. Messages you want to keep in your inbox do not need Subject Modification. The current setting for each bucket is shown by the checkboxes in the Subject Header Modification column. If a setting is On for a bucket you will see a tick in the checkbox.
