Filtering incoming messages (e-mail/header filters)

Both webmail clients allow you to filter incoming e-mail messages based on the content of their headers.

You can manage your mailbox header filters by opening the Settings task in Roundcube or the Options tab in Webmail Classic from the main menu, going to E-mail Filters, and using the Mail Filtering subsection.

Since the header filters management interface in the webmail clients is identical to the one available in the Mail Manager section of the hosting Control Panel, you can refer to our Adding header filters article for instructions on how to add and use header filters. You can find a detailed explanation on the available header filter options in our Header filters article.

A step-by-step tutorial on how to set up an email filter that forwards specific messages to another e-mail address is available in our Forwarding specific incoming messages (e-mail filter example) article.
