Answer
A filter is a method of searching for certain features or text within an email message and instructing the system to act with regards to that message. Filters allow you to check the content for common spam terms and reject the message, flag the importance of a message depending on sender or content, or simply assist managing your inbox by moving specific incoming messages automatically to the correct folders.
