To filter your email to a folder:
Filtering allows you to tell your mail client (e.g. Webmail, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail) to put messages matching certain criteria (say a sender or email list) into a folder automatically when you check your email. We’ve enabled prefixes to the subject lines on our lists to allow you to filter them easily. They are [svc4all] for “service4all” and [haas-prog] for “haas-programs.”
