By default, Mailivery automatically moves all warmup emails from inbox to to a "Mailivery" folder, so you no longer need custom filters to avoid Mailivery emails cluttering your inbox.
However, some customers may still want to create a custom filter to have warmup emails skip inbox and immediately move it to an archive folder.
