Can I Combine "AND" with multiple "OR" Conditions in One Rule?

Post by Godiva »

Is there a way to create a single Anti-Junk rule with the following conditions:

If A and (B or C or D)...

In the above case, I want messages that are retrieved into a specific email account (A) and are sent to at least one of several email addresses (B or C or D) to be marked as read and ignored (so I don't get notification).

Can this be done with a single rule (if so, how), or do I need to create a separate rule for A&B, A&C and A&D?

For my sake, you don't have to explain the action part (that I already know how to do), just how to create the condition test.

Yes:
Set "A" to be "required" (ie. tick the "req" checkbox) and the other 3 as optional (ie. don't tick the "req" box).

In that scenario, you'll see the helper text at the top say:
"4 rules; 1 required; 1 of 3 required"

which is to suggest that at least one of the 3 "non-required" lines must hit for the entire rule to hit.

Logical (now that you explain it). Thanks!
