There seems to be no tutorial on using settings.
Specifically I'd like to know - under settings-mail-mail filter. After I have filled in the filter information, what does "stop more filters" mean?
Does it mean that once it finds a key word it wont look for any more?
And, it doesn't always seem to work.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Good Day.
You are absolutely correct. There are no tutorials or How to's per se.
Mail filters organize and manage incoming emails based on predefined rules. They can automatically sort messages into folders, delete spam, or forward emails based on criteria like sender, subject, or keywords. This helps users manage their inbox more efficiently and enhances email security by filtering out unwanted or malicious content.
Bell's webmail filtering is somewhat simplistic to use. There are so many variables that you can set making it somewhat difficult to explain in a tutorial
- Assign your filter a Name. For ease of use, pick a name that reflects the filtering criteria you are searching on
- Set the email conditions or rules for filtering the incoming email messages based on criteria you select.
- Enter the key information that the filter rule will search on.
- Decide on the action in terms of what the mail filter is going to do with message and or the folder you wish to save the message in.
You can set up multiple mail filters in webmail. They can all be active with different criteria. The search on a message stops when a rule that is set is encountered. More than one filter can apply to a message. Stop more filters does just that. The message is no longer filtered beyond the rule that is applied, and the condition that is found.
I have included a sample of a filter that @BellNick included in a previous thread. Please have a look at it. Scroll down to the example that is included in the reply. There is also some very good information included throughout this entire Internet post.
