Well, maybe you don't have to do it after the first time, but at least in my mail prefs, there was initially a "move to" action and a "copy to" action, each having an add action and delete action next to it. Yes, I just checked and once I delete an action, it doesn't show when I add new rules but I could get it back with "add action". Another neat thing is that if you go to add a rule with a message selected, the edit fields for criteria show the info for the part of the message relevant to where you have the pop-up so you can select what you want from the pop-up and either leave or edit the information in the text field.

for instance: condition/criteria; the subject contains is what I select, [macvoiceovder] is what I type for it.action, move it to the specified folder or what ever it says, I get it confused with that other os.
then I find the folder. I usually create the folder first.

I tried email rules when I first started using the Mac; what I created never worked and I was so confused I gave up. But today, since I'm subscribed to a list which I need to access sometime but which has way more mail irrelevant to me than I want cluttering my inbox, I decided to be really brave and try rules again. It wasn't hard at all once I realized I had to delete any listed actions I didn't want to use. I just made a rule, and the mail from that bothersome but necessary list--no, no, not Macvoiceover!!!-- is streaming into its own separate mailbox even as I type!!! Rules in Apple Mail are accessible, applicable, and a new area of advancement for me!!!!
