To access your mail filters:

1. Login to your WebMail account at http://webmail.linkline.com/ using your email address and password. Once logged in, click on the Preferences link in the upper right corner of the page (1):

Rule Examples:

NOTE: If you have more than one mail rule you must have "and continue filtering" (8b) checked for each rule. This will ensure that incoming mail is checked against each rule. If this is not checked, mail filtering will stop after it has processed the first rule where this isn't checked.
