Rule overview and setup

Rules are extremely flexible and can be set up for a single email account or be set to execute across any accounts that you choose. Rules are based on criteria you choose and can carry out various actions such as auto reply with a template, file or archive an email, set a flag, delete, forward and more.

You can edit rules in the app settings (View) - Email Management section - "Edit Email Rules". Swipe left over a rule to delete it. To create a new rule tap the + button on the top right, name your rule and fill in the criteria and then the action. If you tap on "Email accounts" you can chose if the rule will apply to an individual account or all Favorite accounts.
You can change the order of rule processing by changing the rule names. Rules are processed in alphabetical order.

You can also set a rule up for the email you are viewing by swiping left to right and tap on "New Rule". This will create new rule fields based on the viewed or selected email. If you select text in an email then you can also use that text as part of the new Email Rule search.
You can also choose to add the new email fields to an existing email rule or create a new one. For example, if you have an email rule that blocks address, you can add new email addresses to that rule list using the "New Rule" dialog.
