Unable to add new filter to email.  category missing from list

If you are using a phone or tablet, "Filter Rules" may not be visible unless you switch the browser to "Desktop site" mode, see the image posted in https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/email/filter-rules-option/625d7d37ee0ef23e526259d7?commentId=6266e72e36b3dc41e2a6c117 for an example using Chrome on an Android phone. Unless the device screen is very large, you are likely to find filters difficult to use in "Desktop site" mode.

... Those posts are from two years ago. ...

Yep. And yet, two years later, on a newer phone running much later versions of Android and Chrome, "Filter Rules" is still missing unless I switch the browser to "Desktop" mode.

What device and what browser are you using?

Good morning @user_zat34u, and thanks for posting your question to the Xfinity forums, I hope this message finds you well. I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your email and adding a filter, but you have come to the right place for assistance. Are you trying to add that filter for the email on the Xfinity website?
