How to create filters for your messages in SOGo

Filters in SOGo allow you to automatically organize the messages you receive according to criteria that you define. For example, you can move certain emails to a specific folder, mark important messages, or even send automatic replies to certain senders, among many other options.

In this guide, you will learn step by step how to create or edit filters in SOGo. If you do not yet know how to access your SOGo account, please first consult the guide: How to access your email account from SOGo

  1. Condition: If the recipient is equal to "test@example.com"
