Opera Mail- Please allow us to create rules for incoming mail

Dear Opera Developers,

I really like your mail client, but I can't use it because it cannot handle the volume of mail that
I get from many senders including spam

There is a feature in Thunderbird and Outlook/Outlook Express that allows the user to create a
"rule" for a particular message that can redirect, forward or delete the incoming message based
on user defined parameters

This would be really helpful in OM...the "Label" feature doesn't work as well and the spam feature
apparently doesn't work at all, and I am submerged in junk mail since changing from TB to OM

Any possibility that this could be added in future or is it a feature that is hidden and can be
enabled?

ok, to clarify what I am asking for:

In my small business, when I open my email client, I typically get 150-200 emails daily

Previously, when using Outlook Express, I would assign an action to emails according to
how I needed to deal with them

For emails that repeatedly came from the same senders, this was convenient

Invoices from suppliers were marked to forward to bookkeeping, notices for training courses
to another folder, technical support to our tech person, orders to our sales desk etc

with OM, I can label the emails as I like but then I still have to manually sort and forward
the ones that I do not deal with myself, which is really time consuming

worse still is spam, which makes the inbox so cluttered that I find myself losing sight of
important messages as they are buried in a mass of junk

It is tedious and wasteful to have to delete each junk mail individually, as the "junk" label
only applies to that individual email and doesn't stop future emails from the same sender

So, if possible, I'd like to be able to re-direct automatically certain emails and delete
others when they come from an unwanted source

Is this possible yet?

Opera Mail (separate e-mail client) is a dead-born product (no future improvements).
