You are now set to have all the mails coming from HEPC List transferred automatically, depending on their content,  in the folders "HEPC Traffic" and "INFO Posts".

If you subscribe to other mailing lists you can set up folders and filters for them too; or you can set up folders and filters for the persons you are exchanging correspondence with on regular basis.
