How to automatically move messages (with certain keyword) into specific folder

[Justin]

There are "MailDroid" and "ProfiMail Go" for local filtering. And "Yahoo Mail" (for Yahoo Mail users only).

But local filtering does make sense in this special case: Using only one mail client. Nothing else.

In all other cases - using several devices or clients and/or web frontend - the server-side filtering is easier and better. Usually filtering on serveris to be preferred.

I can't find this "rules feature" (sort incoming messages into specific folders) in MailDroid's settings - only "notification rules" (notify about new messages on a time schedule).... mmh 🤔

Sorry, since I don't see advantages in local filtering, I did not test this feature in MailDroid myself. I just have read it several times, e.g.:

"Custom mail rules (like Outlook and Thunderbird)"

I read this also. However, I think the description is misleading, since there isn't any option in MailDroid's settings... at least I can't find it. Or this feature is only available with the pro version
--> available also in the free version

Maybe @teleworm could be able to bring some light in the darkness

Can't believe this thread is still going on.  It's not a feature in AM.  The author already said that it won't be.

You have a couple of choices, either to accept it and let it go or to move onto one of those other Android mail clients that perform this function to your liking.

Oh, that's right.............

Just viewed into the app (pro version), found it:

Settings > Advanced > Mail Rules

Thank you. I found it even in the free version now. Will test it a few days.
