1. Filtering at the server (filers created in webmail - OWA):
By creating e-mail filters in webmail (OWA), the messages are filtered on the mail server before they are brought into Evolution. This is more convenient because sorting is independent of the program you use to read / send email.The messages are sorted in the same way regardless of whether you read e-mail via the webmail service, Evolution, home computer or on mobile devices.
If you want e-mail filtering in this way - on the e-mail server - log into webmail (OWA) and set up your filters there.
It is important that you do not edit your filters from both Evolution and webmail. You must therefore decide whether you want local filters that filters e-mail only on one computer / device at a time, or you want filters that filter already on the email server and provide equal sorting on all devices.
See instructions for filtering and sorting e-mail messages in webmail (OWA).
2. Local filtering (filters in Evolution).
If you find it most convenient to have local filters that filters e-mail only on one computer / device at a time, follow the instructions below:

You can choose what Evolution should do when an e-mail is captured by the filter, such as display a notice on the screen, play a sound and / or move messages to a specific folder.
If you do not have an appropriate folder for the filter, press the New button to create a folder. Confirm the folder by pressing OK.
