Auto-selection rules let you teach Mail Box Dispatcher to auto-select unwanted messages.
After Mail Box Dispatcher has received list of messages from server and made previews, it starts auto-selection procedure. This procedure searches for presence of rules-substrings in each message and if Dispatcher found any substring then message selects as unwanted. Search area depends on type of rule. There are five types of rules: Sender, Recipient, Subject, Body and Friends.
Sender-rules have 'From-field' search area. This means that Mail Box Dispatcher searches for presence of From-rules in From string of all messages.
Recipient-rules and Subject-rules does same things for To and Subject strings.
Search area for Body-rules is preview of message (message header and some message lines - number of message lines you choose in 'Setup Mail').
Friend-rules have other meaning. Friend-rules have 'From-field' search area. If Mail Box Dispatcher find Friend-substring then this message will be not selected in any case.
