 	Now that you have created folders, you can manipulate them and their contents using menu items or drag'n'drop. Moving a folder into another one, for example, can be done by right-clicking on the folder you want to move, choosing the <quote>Move folder...</quote> menu item, and selecting the destination folder. This will move the folder, with the mail it contains, to a subfolder of the chosen folder. Alternatively, you can drag a folder to another one by clicking on it, keeping the mouse button down, moving the mouse cursor over the destination folder and releasing the button.

 	Once you have a nice folder hierarchy in place, you'll probably want Sylpheed-Claws to sort your incoming emails automatically, in order to avoid having to move messages manually each time they arrive. For this you can use the Filtering feature.
     </para>
     <para>
-	You will find the filtering preferences via the <quote>Configuration</quote> menu, <quote>Filtering</quote> item. From this dialog, you will be able to define new rules, modify or delete existing ones, and re-order them. Filtering rules are defined by three things: a name, a condition, and an action. The name format is free and optional, it's there to help you find your existing rules again. The condition format is an expression defining what Sylpheed-Claws should look for when filtering emails, for example: 'to matchcase sylpheed-claws-users' is for messages sent to any address containing 'sylpheed-claws-users'. You can easily define conditions by clicking the <quote>Define...</quote> button at the right of the field. The third part of a filtering rule is the action, which instructs Sylpheed-Claws what to do with emails matching the condition we just defined. For example, 'mark_as_read' marks the mail as read as soon as it arrives in your inbox, or 'move #mh/Mailbox/Friends' moves the mail to your 'Friends' subfolder. Here, too, a <quote>Define...</quote> button is available to help you define the action to take.

-	Once you have defined the rule, you can add it to the list of rules with the <quote>Add</quote> button. Don't forget that the order of the rules is important: if Sylpheed-Claws finds a rule suitable for an email that either moves or deletes the email, it will stop looking for further rules for that email. This is why, at the right of the rules list, you will find four buttons allowing re-ordering of the rules. The rules can also be reordered by drag'n'drop.

After selecting a mail of the type you want to filter, choose <quote>Create filter rule...</quote> from the <quote>Tools</quote> menu, and choose a type from the submenu: <quote>Automatically</quote> mainly helps for mailing-lists posts, <quote>by From</quote> creates a filter based on the sender of the email, <quote>by To</quote> creates a filter based on the recipient, and <quote>by Subject</quote> creates a filter based on the subject. Each one of these types of filtering has its advantages, it's up to you to find out what would be the more practical. Usually, <quote>by From</quote> is nice to sort out your regular contacts' mails, whereas <quote>by To</quote> is more useful to sort mails sent to your different accounts.

 	If you're looking at a large email and want to find a particular part of it, you can use the <quote>Find in current message...</quote> item of the <quote>Edit</quote> menu. This works like search in a text document.

It's also accessible from the <quote>Quick search</quote> item of the <quote>Edit</quote> menu. This quick search is more powerful than the normal search: it can search in standard headers (From, To, Subject) or in <quote>Extended</quote> mode using about anything you could think of. When in <quote>Extended</quote> mode, an <quote>Extended symbols</quote> button is visible, enabling you to see the search syntax. You can also configure the quicksearch to search recursively or not, and whether it should reset itself when you change folders.

-	When you hit Enter after having specified the search string in the Quicksearch, the message list will shrink to present you only the relevant messages. If you set the search to be recursive, any subfolder of the current one that has matching emails will change its icon to a magnifying glass one. This way, you can search in your whole mailbox at once. If the search is in Sticky mode, the filter will stay applied when you go to another folder. This can be disturbing at first, as you can forget about it, but is useful in some cases, for example if you want to search in the body of emails and are not sure of which folder contains the searched email: a recursive search on the body of emails in a whole mailbox can be really slow.
