Creating mail filters:

Filters are used to help organize your e-mail automatically and even send certain types of e-mail to the spam folder so you don't have to see them.  In this example, we'll enable Opera to send e-mail to the folder we just created:  'Family'.

To create a filter, do the following:

On the Toolbar, click Mail and select Filters from the menu.

The Message filters window appears.

Highlight the 'Family' folder.

To the right you'll see three fields.  I've select Name of sender from the first, and Contains from the second.  In the third field I entered 'Grandma'.

Now any message that contains 'Grandma' as the sender's name will be placed automatically in the 'Family' folder.

There are many types of filters to create.  Be creative.  Spammers are.
