How to Make NEO Organize Newsletters and Mailing Lists Perfectly

Nelson Email Organizer organizes mail from and to your contacts perfectly without intervention. With newsletters and mailing lists, things can be different.

It's not NEO's fault, of course. Some newsletters are sent to your personal address so they look like personal mail, mail from mailing lists can appear to come from the individual list members, and it makes sense to collect all bulk emails in the preliminary Unsorted Bulk Mail folder.

You can help NEO handle bulk email better. If you tell it that all mail from a certain mailing list has the list address in the To: field, it can sort list messages automatically. If you tell it to file mail from a bulk email sender to your address in a bulk mail folder, it won't show up under Correspondents. And if you sort your newsletters to various folders, you can clean up the Unsorted Bulk Mail folder.

Make NEO Organize Newsletters and Mailing Lists Perfectly

To make NEO organize newsletters and mailing lists perfectly:

• Click on a message from the mailing list or newsletter you want to organize with the right mouse button.
• Select Reorganize Message from the menu.
• Click Bulk Mail Folder.
• Make sure Subscription - mailing lists, e-zines, & announcements is selected.
• Highlight the appropriate of either From: or To: address.
  • The more general address is usually the right one.
  • If a message is sent To: one of your personal addresses From: a newsletter sender, highlight the From: address.
  • If a message is sent From: individual senders To: a generic mailing list address, highlight the To: address.
• Click Create New... under Destination folder:.
  • If you want to map a newsletter to a general newsletter category that you already created a folder for, click Select... and choose the desired folder.
• Type the name of the newsletter or mailing list in the Company: field.
• Optionally, check Original name from message under Show in Name column:.
  • If this option is selected, NEO will display the sender of the message in addition to the custom bulk mail folder. This can make sense for mailing lists or if you collect multiple newsletters in a general category (all food-related newsletters in a "Food" folder, for example).
• Click OK.
• Now click Reorganize Now.
