• Subject Filtering — Show or filter conversations using subject text, phrases, and messages without a subject.
• Message Content Filtering — Match words and phrases in message content, with options for more specific matching.
• Flexible Matching Rules — Configure how words, phrases, and exact message lines are matched.
• Active Filtering — Automatically apply enabled filters as conversations change, or apply filters manually.
• Archive Unmatched — Archive conversations that don't match your active filter criteria.
• Unarchive Matched — Restore matching conversations from the Archived folder.
• Delete Unmatched — Delete conversations that don't match your criteria from the Archived folder.
• Progress Reports and Stop Controls — Monitor supported bulk actions and stop an operation when needed.
• Customizable Settings — Adjust filtering and conversation-management behavior to suit your preferences.

Configure your filters, choose whether to show matching conversations or filter them out, and apply your settings. When you're ready to organize your inbox, use the available archive, unarchive, or delete actions.
