Run rules on existing emails?

[YourKoolPal]

Hi,

I checked the help file as well as tried searching the forum.

Is there any way I could run rules on existing emails already received?

Some sample use cases:
1. I wanted to use a different back color for some emails with a specific subject
2. I wanted to assign a user flag to some emails from a specific sender.

So far I found that these rules apply only on new emails received AFTER the rule is created.

Am I missing some step to run these on existing emails?

Please guide.

Thanks

If you right-click on a message, select:
AntiJunk -> Re-evaluate message
The same option is available under the main 'Messages' menu. All selected messages will be re-evaluated.

Depending on how many messages you have, you may want to just select a page or two to see how long it takes before doing a Ctrl+A. Although, there's not really any UI-feedback to let you know that it's really doing anything.

Thanks a lot!
This worked.

Have a nice day!
