      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).
