Action Menu
The action menu is located next to the search field in the MsgFiler 4 window. It provides quick access to commonly used settings and reveals additional filing options.
MsgFiler Settings
These options toggle frequently used settings in MsgFiler 4:
Keep MsgFiler open after filing: Enable this when filing dozens or hundreds of emails in a single session.
Pressing Enter always performs default action: Enable this to perform the default filing action when pressing Enter from the search field. If disabled, pressing Enter will move focus to the Mailboxes table.
Focus on search on activation: Enable this to always return to the search field when returning back to MsgFiler 4.
Restrict search to selected accounts: Only show mailboxes that belong to the currently selection Mail account. Useful when you have mailboxes with the same name across multiple mail accounts.
Ignore mailbox path when matching: MsgFiler 4 will ignore the mailbox path and only search on the mailbox name.
Align MsgFiler window to Mail: When activated, MsgFiler 4 will attach its main window to the right-hand side of the frontmost Mail window.
Play sound after filing: Play the filing sound after filing or archiving messages.
