Hi Christine:
The mail rules area way to control how mail takes care of messages.  For 
example, Let's say I want to have every message from my students go to a 
particular mailbox.  I can set a rule so that when a message has a particular 
clue , such as the word "lesson" it goes into a folder or mailbox which is 
designated for that purpose.
