Creating A Mail Rule:

(Part 1) You will need to set the conditions of your rule.  Scroll through your options here.  The most common way to create an effective mail rule will be to target the Subject.  Here for instance you could target a specific word or phrase.

(Part 2) You will need to set the action of this rule.  The action could include deleting moving to a specific location or forwarding said e-mail to a third party.

(Part 3) Describes the rule as your have created it.  Also here is where you will enter in things specific to the rule, as shown below in the demonstration.

(Part 4) Is the name of the newly created rule.  This can be left as is or renamed to something of your liking.

Demonstration:  This example will demonstrate how the mail rules work with Conditions targeting the subject line and Action set to delete.

First, click on the box next to both Subject in the condition box and Delete in the action box.  Next, under the Description box you will see a highlighted line of text (as shown in the image on the right).  Click here to enter specific words to be screened out.  Now a box will appear that will ask you for the specific words you want to delegate.  By typing in the words in the first box and clicking the Add button you will add each specific word or phrase to this mail rule.  When you have added all the words you want to block, click OK.

Note: This is just a demonstration. There are many other options here to choose from that many be more applicable in your specific situation.
