After a rule is created, you must apply conditions to the rule. Conditions allow a rule to interpret incoming emails and attachments.
Rules can interpret incoming emails and attachments by performing text comparisons based on the value entered for the condition. The following are exceptions for text comparisons when using conditions:
-
The values of a condition are compared to text in incoming emails and attachments as case-insensitive.
-
The values of a condition are compared to text in incoming emails and attachments as independent of culture. For example, depending on the natural language in which your environment is configured, any specific text comparison rules attributed to the selected language are not used in the text comparison.
To add a condition to a rule:
-
In the Configuration module, select Import | Mailbox Importer | Rules. The Rules dialog box is displayed.
-
From the Rules list, select the rule to which you want to apply conditions and click Conditions. The Conditions dialog box is displayed.

Select an email property Keyword Type from the Keyword column drop-down list at the bottom of the Conditions dialog box.
