Give a Sender Top Priority in Mozilla Thunderbird or Netscape

Some people's mail is more important than all the other junk in the Inbox. In Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape and Mozilla, you can assign high priority to all messages from one sender automatically.

To set up such a top priority filter in Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape or Mozilla:

• Select Tools | Message Filters... from the menu.
• Click the New... button.
• Give the filter a meaningful name ("Hilmar --> Top Priority" for example).
• Select Sender from the Subject search criteria drop-down menu.
• Leave contains untouched.
• Enter the top priority person's email address.
• Under Perform these actions:, select Change the priority to.
• Make sure highest is selected.
• Finally, click OK.

If you have multiple filters, make sure the top priority filter is above any other filter that takes action when a message from your important sender arrives.
