If I set up rules in my 'Mail' client to apply to my iCloud and Gmail accounts (moving emails into folders) will those rules be applied if I log into those two email accounts through a web browser?

Or will those rules only apply when I am looking at my emails on the Mail client on my Mac?


Also, if I set up folders in the mail client will they appear when I access the email accounts through a web browser?



I'm running 10.11.1 on a MBP 13"

The rules you set up in Mail will only apply in the Mail. They are all local, so they also won't transfer to another device running Mail. However, if you use the same client on multiple devices AND set up the same rules on all those clients, you'll have the same behavior among all the devices

Your rules will actually move items in G Mail (and I think in iCloud accounts).

I have a MBP retina using an iCloud account with rules for Mail. I also bought a MBA with same iCloud account. The rules transferred over.
