Applying Filters
Filters are applied in the order listed in the dialog accessed with Settings > Configure
Filters. Change the order by selecting a filter and clicking the arrow buttons. Filters
are only applied to new incoming messages or sent messages as specified in the filter's
advanced options. To apply filters to existing messages, right-click the desired messages
and choose Apply Filter and the desired filter.
If your filters do not act as expected, monitor them with Tools > Filter Log Viewer.
When logging is enabled in this dialog, it shows how messages are processed by your
filters and can help locate the problem.
4.3 Contacts
The contacts component uses KAddressBook. Configure it with Settings > Configure
KAddressBook. To search for a particular contact, use the search bar. With Filter, select
to display only contacts in a certain category. Right-click a contact to open a menu in
which to select from a variety of options, such as sending the contact information in an
e-mail.
