How-to Guide

1. Create an Email Rule

Entry: Mail Settings → Email Rules → New Rule

  1. Open WPS Mail and click Settings in the upper-right corner.
  2. In mail settings, open the Email Rules tab.
  3. Click New Rule.
  4. Set matching conditions such as sender, subject, or keywords.
  5. Choose whether the rule should match all conditions or any condition.
  6. Set the action, such as moving to a folder, marking as read, starring, or deleting.
  7. Select options as needed to enable the rule for new mail, apply it to existing matching mail, or stop later rules after this one runs.
  8. Click Save.

Success Criteria

  • The new rule appears in the Email Rules list.
  • New matching messages are processed automatically.
  • If existing-mail application was selected, matching older messages are also processed.

Tips While Using

  • More specific conditions usually produce more stable results.
  • If a rule moves or deletes mail, test it with a narrower condition first.

2. Manage Rule Priority

Entry: Email Rules list → Drag to reorder

  1. Open the Email Rules list.
  2. Find the rule whose order you want to change.
  3. Drag the rule up or down.
  4. Confirm that the top-to-bottom order matches your intended execution sequence.
  5. If needed, enable, disable, or edit the related rule at the same time.

Success Criteria

  • The rule order is updated in the list.
  • When multiple rules match the same message, they follow the new order.

Tips While Using

  • Put higher-priority rules closer to the top of the list.
  • If a rule is set to stop later rules, rules below it may not run.

Entry: Email Rules list → More options (...)

  1. In the Email Rules list, find the target rule.
  2. Click the More option next to the rule.
  3. Select Edit to change conditions or actions.
  4. Select Delete to remove the rule.
  5. Select Run once to apply the rule manually.

Success Criteria

Tips While Using

  • Before deleting a rule, confirm that you no longer need that automation flow.
  • After running a rule manually, check the target folder or message status changes.
