| 3 | Sometimes our email address ends up on spam lists used for sending spam in languages we don't speak. Since it is rare to get a legitimate message in a language you don't speak, filtering out these messages can save you from getting a lot of un-wanted email in your inbox. |

| 5 | If you are not familiar with how to filter your messages, please review our [wiki:sieve help file on filtering] which gives you the basics of how to create filters in our Roundcube mail program. Remember: Filters created in Roundcube apply even if you use a different program. |

| 7 | To create a filter specifically for language, follow these steps. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * Login to https://roundcube.mayfirst.org/ |
| 10 | * Click the Settings Link in the top right corner of the screen |
| 11 | * Click the Filters link from the menu |
| 12 | * Click the plus (+) sign in the bottom left corner of the filters box to create a new filter |
| 13 | (all of the above steps are outlined on our [wiki:sieve filter help page] with screen shots) |
| 14 | * Create the initial rules for your language filter |
| 15 | * Give your filter a descriptive name |
| 16 | * Indicate that all the rules must match for the filter to take affect |
| 17 | * The first drop down shows you the available headers you can match on. Since "X-Spam-Language" is not one of them, select "..." instead and then type in: X-Spam-Language (make sure there are no typos!) |
| 18 | * Indicate that you want to move the message to your Junk folder if this header does not contain the word "en" |
