Magic Message Manager is a great software to sort (filter) any incoming and outgoing message. It filters emails, SMS and MMS messages, faxes and beamed files and can do any action using powerful filters. You can sort your messages, hide private messages, delete unwanted email or SMS spam, transfer messages and files to specific folders, automatically clean your message box and do much more.

Magic Message Manager can help you to protect confidential messages from unwanted eyes. All the sensitive messages can be hidden automatically and then be read only with right password.

With Magic Message Manager you can organize your messages and files for easier access. Magic Message Manager can help you to categorize all messages at one action.

Main view
The main view consists of two parts. The leftmost panel carries the list of filters. On the screenshot above you can see 5 filters we set to test the program (Files, Kristina - Out, Kristina - In, Drafts, Work). The rightmost panel is the currently selected filter itself. It consists of several sets or signal strings as well as necessary actions.

Now let's go through the steps to create a filter. Each filtering rule has a set of options, which can be set to govern how it works. All the options work as logical operator "AND".

Message type - select the kind of messages you want to work with: Any, SMS, MMS, Email, Fax, Beamed. Note that Magic Message Manager works only with downloaded emails (not with preview headers).
Source folder - select the source of messages you want to filter. This can be the "Inbox", the "Outbox" and other folders (mailboxes, SMS storage and so on).
Message status - select message status (Any, Read, Unread).

Choosing sender options

Sender - set how to handle the sender of message. You can ignore sender (set it to Any), or use (Does / Does not) some special conditions:

• Exist in Phonebook - Magic Message Manager will search your whole phonebook (only the main phonebook!) for the sender.
• Exist in Contact group - you'll see the Contacts directory dialog where you'll be able to select the necessary contact group to look in.
• Match contact - you'll see the Contacts directory dialog where you'll be able to select the necessary contact to match to.
• Equal to - you'll be prompted to enter the pattern for full match. Note that you can use | sign to list alternatives (equal to logical operator "OR"), for example: "Mike Tyson|Lennox Lewis|Vitaly Klitchko".
• Contain - you'll be prompted to enter the pattern for context entry. You can list alternate entries using | sign.
• Begin with - almost the same as above, but for the beginning of the line. Use the same option to list alternatives.
• End with - almost the same as above, but for the ending of the line. Use the same option to list alternatives.

Contacts dialog
Recipient - set how to handle the recipient of message. This rule has the same options as sender.

Please keep in mind: Sender/Recipient fields have different meanings according to the message type: you are the recipient in incoming mails and the sender in outgoing ones. Be attentive when creating filters!

When you create a filter that has Sender or Recipient settings, you must know how Magic Message Manager works with different message types:

• Email - Magic Message Manager checks all the email fields.
• SMS/MMS - the program checks only mobile numbers.
• Fax - the program checks phone/fax/mobile numbers.

Of course, this is suitable only for Exist in Phonebook / Exist in Contact group / Match contact conditions.

Body and Age settings
Body - enter searching string to search in message body (only for SMS, Email, MMS messages); or File type - choose file type (Any, Image, Audio, Custom) (only for beamed files). Once you have selected "Custom", enter one or more file extensions (without leading dot!) in the "Pattern" field. You can list several extensions using | sign, for example: "doc|ini|cfg".
Age - this can be very useful if you want to work with old messages. For example, you can automatically delete messages older than 5 days from your Draft folder. This filter runs every midnight.

Action and filter type
Action - select the necessary action to work with messages. You have a selection from the following options: Delete, Mark as read, Mark as unread, Move to folder, Copy to folder, Hide message, Reveal hidden message.
Filter type - can be Automatic or Manual. Automatic filter works fully automatic (i.e. it runs on message receiving, etc.). Manual filters work only if you run them through the menu MMM - Filter messages - Use manual filters or press Ctrl+F.

Filtering options
At any moment you can forcibly run filters through the menu "MMM - Filter messages".

Menu Filter
Menu Filter - here you can work with filters.

Create - create a new filter.
Edit - edit currently selected filter.
Rename - rename currently selected filter.
Delete - delete currently selected filter.

Menu Tools
Menu Tools - here you can disable filtering whenever you don't need it, and enable again.

Magic Message Manager is a good security tool that can help you to protect confidential messages from unwanted eyes. All the sensitive messages can be hidden automatically and then be read only with right password.

Magic Message Manager works with any type of messages: SMS, MMS and Email (sent, received and draft messages).

To hide messages from unwanted access, just set "Action: Hide message" in the filter settings. After that, hidden messages will apppear in their folders only after right password input in "MMM - Reveal all messages" menu.

Magic Message Manager supports two types of filters: Automatic and Manual. Automatic filters are always ready to filter any incoming (or outgoing, our outdated) message/file. They work fully automatic without your participation. Manual filters work only when you call them through the menu "MMM - Filter messages". At any moment you can run manually any type (group) of filters (automatic, manual or both) through the same menu "MMM - Filter messages". This can be useful, for example, when you have just created a new filter rule and want to resort your old message base.

Once you have installed and run the program, it's highly recommended to activate automatic filtering through the menu "Tools - Enable filtering" (it's disabled by default).

When filtering, the program applies filters in the same order as you see them on the left panel (from up to down). To change the order of filters, you can move them up and down using Ctrl+Up/Down keys.

Automatic filters run on the following events:
- new message appeared (received, created, moved/copied to folder);
- message status changed (when you open an unread message, it becomes read);
- midnight passed (Magic Message Manager applies filters with "Age" settings).

To switch from the left to the right panel use "Right arrow" or "Tab" keys. To cancel filter settings press "Esc" while editing in the right panel.

You'll get your personal license by email right after the purchase. It's an ordinary .SIS file that is needed to be installed on your device. You don't need to enter any codes, copy/paste keys - just install the license file and enjoy the registered version!
