    • If you specify a folder name (e.g. “Drafts”) with no special characters, then any folders with that specific name will be excluded. Note that adding an exclusion of this type will match any folders with the name provided, wherever they are within the mailbox.
    • Wrapping the exclusion in wildcard indicators (e.g. “*Deleted*”) will match any folder/email with “Deleted” somewhere in the title.

    NOTE: You can optionally enter exclusion location in the Test Path field to verify the new filter, and click Test.
