How do I redirect emails?

How do i redirect emails from my general mailbox into a different folder in Mail on a Macbook?

• i have a mac and just use the basic "Mail" application for my account, and i was just wondering how you redirect mail in your normal mailbox into another folder. i'm trying to redirect my all my emails from facebook... i still want to have them, i just don't want them clogging up my regular mailbox. i have a smartfolder for every email sent from facebook, but they are still showing up in my general mailbox. is there any way to have them only go into the smart folder, and never into the general mailbox? thanks!

• Answer:

  Redirecting email you receive is slightly different from forwarding it. When you forward email, the recipient sees your name in the From column and the date you forwarded it in the Date & Time column. When you redirect an email, the recipient sees the original sender's name in the From column and the time when they composed the message in the Date & Time column. Open Mail, select a message, and choose Redirect Message from the Message menu. Your name remains next to To: at the top of the message so the recipient knows you received the email. A segmented arrow appears in the Status column next to messages you redirect. This document contains information from Help Center, the help system included with your computer.
