[IMP 3.x] All of the above functions are best done when mail arrives in the mailbox, not via IMP. Speak with your organization’s support staff to see what facilities are available for this. However, limited support for filtering and blocking of messages within IMP is supported. If you want to filter future messages from the same person as the message you are currently using, use the Blacklist link when in the message view. This will add a rule to filter out that sender, and take you to the Filter Rules Options page. For more general filtering, select the Options menu item in IMP, and then select Filters from the Mail Management section. Note that creating a rule does not filter any messages! You must click the Apply All Rules button on the Filter Rules page or the “Apply Filters” icon next to the INBOX name
