This is an example of how to automatically route specific incoming messages into a particular folder.

The basic intent is to:

1. Tidy up your Inbox
2. Handle repetitive messages automatically
3. Keep repetitive messages visible

This fairly common example:

1. Assumes you have an alias address in addition to your primary e-mail address
2. Assumes you wish for messages addressed to the alias address to flow automatically into a particular folder

In general, we don't usually create mail folders directly under the Inbox folder. However, you might consider doing so when creating folders for routing mail addressed to alias e-mail addresses.

ZWC → Preferences → Filters → Create Filter

Generally, in most mail clients, messages arriving into a folder other than Inbox will not generate a notification or alert that a new message has arrived.

Often, with processing rules (filters), we often don't care to be notified of new messages in the folder…but sometimes you might.
