Now give your rule a unique name. You can also specify here how the rule should be applied:

• Apply this rule now to messages already in the Inbox – Be careful with this option! The rule will then be applied to all messages in the Inbox, not just newly received emails.
• Turn on this rule – The rule will from now on be applied to incoming emails.
• Create this rule for all accounts – The rule will then apply not only to the current account, but to all your accounts.
