Rule Magic is an unique feature to your email hosting account that adds a bit of artifi cial intelligence to your email. This feature when enabled will learn how your messages are sorted within your email account. For example, when you fi rst setup your email account at EmailHosting.com, if a message is not spam it will come to your Inbox folder. You will then move some of these messages to other folders within your account. This move process will train the rule magic system where your email should be delivered so that in the future the system will deliver your email directly to these folders. While this will take a few days of training it can become very accurate in a relatively short time period. This feature is off by default; so be sure to check out the Settings --> Mail Rules area of your account. This is truly a unique feature to our email hosting service!
