I am trying to create a filter rule for an email. While viewing the email when I click the More Actions - Create Filter Rule link nothing happens. I white listed the domain so it's not the adblocker.
As a work around I go to the overall General Settings - Mail - Filter Rules to add to or create a filter.
Anyone else having this issue?
Yes. This is a known issue and I have reported it to the Comcast email team. New system--------new glitch. Hopefully, it will get sorted out sooner rather than later. In the interim, you can access your filters by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page, then on Settings. Under Mail you will see Filter Rules.
I am having a worse problem. More Actions doesn't work. Or even when I go to settings > Mail filter rules is NOT listed.

So, you're not seeing this?
Or This?
Just to add---------going to Filter rules in the Settings should work. However, clicking on the hamburger icon to get the drop-down menu with "Create filter rule" is still not functional.
Five months later and still not resolved....what gives....?
Another month has gone by and Create FIlter Rule still does nothing. What gives?

This should be working now. It works for me.

No.
So, exactly what are you doing and what is the end result when it's not working for you?
Are you following the directions I posted above?
BTW, @Anon656352, Comcast didn't design Appsuite webmail. This is from Open-Xchange.

I don't care who allegedly designed it. Someone reading a post they want to filter in their COMCAST inbox is going to click on the options that appear alongside the post. If Comcast doesn't control the options that appear in their own posts in their own mailbox, then they continue the very reputation for ineffectiveness that I have previously characterized.
I totally get what you're saying, don't get me wrong. I will be honest in saying I rarely use webmail, preferring an email client instead. That way I miss all the problems in those things, plus I have 12 email addresses from various places that I access on a daily basis and going from website to website to use webmail would cost me most of the day. And, in the client setting up filters the way you have described [and how I set them up] is a snap. This webmail is completely awkward and cumberson at best.
This particular webmail version has been 2+ years in the rollout as they add features and migrate customers. I have no clue why it is taking so long. IMHO by the time they finish both of those they'll be looking to rollout something from some other vendor. And the migration for customers that have more than one email address doesn't mean that all of them get migrated at the same time, which seems really odd to me.
What you're saying has been said several times before. Maybe at some point Comcast will actually listen. But, then again, they don't have to offer email, either.
No where in Xfinity Mail do I see a place to create a rule to direct incoming email to specific folders- ie anything with @junkemailfilter.com goes to spam. And now it's 9 months after the original post above.

To use filters, on the Inbox page click on the gear icon in the upper right corner, then on Settings. In the left pane under "Mail", you will see "Filter rules". Click on that and follow the prompts.
Thank you for the reply- but why do they have to hide it in settings? Why not have right on the toolbar like Outlook. I have the Outlook interface on my primary PC, but sometimes have to use Xfinity's interface when using other devices.

Most webmail programs I know of have the filters in their settings. It's webmail, not a full-featured desktop client like Outlook or some other. However, you have the option to set a filter from an individual email if you like; when you have the message open, in the header look to the right for the "hamburger" menu and click on that. One of the options in that menu is to create a filter.
I've set over 50 rules and still they don't work I've set around 10 so far for dovdir2-hoc-08o.email.comcast.net ([69.252.207.13])
by dovback2-hoc-18o.email.comcast.net with LMTP id KO1sGX8YzVsaQQAA6xG89Q. Set it for all and any but it still comes through.

@if you're looking at the View - Source, you need to set a filter for the Return path, not for Received: from. Set a filter for after the @ sign, but don't set it for comcast.net .
return to where I'm trying to discard it.

You apparently used View Source to pull what you posted above. If so, you need to copy the first line that says Return Path:
Return-Path: <forums@alerts.xfinity.com> [example]
Instead, you are using the Received from:
Received: from dovdir4-hob-04o.email.comcast.net
by dovback4-hob-21o.email.comcast.net with LMTP id
This is what I see:

I have used the gear of which I did not know there were other ways to filter. My tests work but my real ones have never worked. I am sure I am doing something incorrect that is obvious. I wish there was a tutorial with pictures to help.
Which one am I supposed to use? I have been using the first one. I did not know the other was available.
Thanks

Did you have a question? Who are you responding to?
If you want to reply to a particular poster, just click on the large blue Reply button near the bottom of the post. The last person to leave any comment in this thread did so over two weeks ago. It helps if you use the Quote button in the Reply to Message page toolbar. In longer threads it lets everyone know who you are responding to.
After you open the email on the right side you see 3 or 4 lines together. Click on it and scroll to the bottom. It says create filter.
