4.04 E-mail

Create folders and filters

To keep track of incoming e-mails, it makes sense to have them sorted and filtered automatically. It is advisable to at least create separate folders for the distribution lists students, active-students and bachelor-ii (or other degree programme distribution lists). The following describes how folders and filters can be created via the webmail interface.
