For example, if a message declares the Resent-From: header as "engineering@example.com" and then restates it as "marketing@example.com", Evolution filters as though the second declaration did not occur. To filter on messages that use headers multiple times, use a regular expression.</p></item> + +<item><p>Message Body:</p> +<p>Searches in the actual text of the message.</p></item> + +<item><p>Expression:</p> +<p>(For programmers only) Match a message according to an expression you write in the Scheme language used to define <link xref="mail-filters">filters</link> in Evolution.</p></item> + +<item><p>Date sent:</p> +<p>Filters messages according to the date on which they were sent. First, choose the conditions you want a message to meet, such as before a given time or after a given time. Then choose the time. The filter compares the message's time stamp to the system clock when the filter is run, or to a specific time and date you choose from a calendar. You can also have it look for a message within a range of time relative to the filter, such as two to four days ago.</p></item> + +<item><p>Date received:</p> +<p>This works the same way as the Date Sent option, except that it compares the time you received the message with the dates you specify.</p></item> + +<item><p>Label:</p> +<p>Messages can have <link xref="mail-labels">labels</link> of Important, Work, Personal, To Do, or Later. You can set labels with other filters or manually.</p></item> + +<item><p>Score:</p> +<p>Sets the message score to any whole number greater than 0. You can have one filter set or change a message score, and then set up another filter to move the messages you have scored. A message score is not based on anything in particular: it is simply a number you can assign to messages so other filters can process them.</p></item> + +<item><p>Size (kB):</p> +<p>Sorts based on the size of the message in kilobytes.</p></item> + +<item><p>Status:</p> +<p>Filters according to the status of a message. The status can be Replied To, Draft, Important, Read, or Junk.</p></item> + +<item><p>Follow Up:</p> +<p>Checks whether the message is <link xref="mail-follow-up-flag">flagged for follow-up</link>.</p></item> + +<item><p>Completed On:</p></item> + +<item><p>Attachments:</p> +<p>Checks whether there is an attachment for the email.</p></item> + +<item><p>Mailing List</p> +<p>Filters based on the mailing list the message came from. This filter might miss messages from some list servers, because it checks for the X-BeenThere header, which is used to identify mailing lists or other redistributors of mail. Mail from list servers that do not set X-BeenThere properly are not be caught by these filters.</p></item> + +<item><p>Regex Match:</p> +<p>(For programmers only) If you know your way around a <link href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Regular_expression">regex</link>, or regular expression, this option allows you to search for complex patterns of letters, so that you can find, for example, all words that start with a and end with m, and are between six and fifteen letters long, or all messages that declare a particular header twice. For information about how to use regular expressions, check the man page for the grep command.</p></item> + +<item><p>Message Location:</p></item> + +<item><p>Match All:</p></item> +</list> +</page> |
