Organizing Your Inbox (Folders & Filters)

Creating Folders

Folders help you keep different types of email separate — for example, a folder for event inquiries, sponsorship contacts, or board communications.

To create a folder:

1. In RoundCube, click the Settings gear icon (top-right area).
2. Click Folders in the left settings menu.
3. Click the + (Add) button at the bottom of the folder list.
4. Enter a name for the new folder.
5. Optionally, choose a parent folder to nest it inside an existing one.
6. Click Save.

The new folder will appear in your left-side folder panel.

Setting Up Email Filters (Rules)

Email filters automatically sort incoming messages into folders or take other actions based on rules you define — useful for keeping your inbox organized without manual effort.

Filters are managed through cPanel Webmail, not inside RoundCube itself.

To set up filters:

1. Log in to webmail at https://[chapter].assp.org/webmail.
2. From the webmail home screen (before entering RoundCube), click Email Filters.
3. Click Create a New Filter.
4. Give the filter a name.
5. Set your conditions — for example:
   • From contains @someorganization.org
   • Subject contains Sponsorship
6. Set your actions — for example:
   • Deliver to Folder: select the destination folder
   • Discard — silently delete matching messages
   • Redirect to Email — forward to another address
7. Click Create to save the filter.

Tip: Filters are applied to incoming messages only. They will not retroactively sort messages already in your inbox.
