I have created a rule for filter incoming email, but I need to make that filter not only incoming mail, also for old message that fits with that rule, I mean: Have created a rule for this address: "mailout@mail.com" Perfect so far the rule is active all incoming mail will be sent to the specified folder. But how to make the same for the old emails with "mailout@mail.com"??? Thank you so much

Filters run automatically only on the Inbox. They can be applied to other folders, but only manually by opening Tools/Message Filters, selecting the filters, then selecting the folder in 'Run selected filter(s) on:', then Run Now.
