yes, it should work. Either use delete it or move it to a different folder
(can be deleted items or a folder you create to verify its working as
designed) then once you are sure its working, change it to delete or
permanently delete.

I want to create a filter for Yahoogroup emails that I receive.
Specifically I
want to be able to mark my own emails that I post to the group as "read"
and to
move them to the deleted items folder.

I created one that filters on specific text in the recipient's email
address.
ie. part of my email address. Then I filtered on specific text in the
subject
field, which is the group that is inserted into the subject text.

I then tell the filter to "delete it". There's a "delete permanently"
option.
I'm assuming that the first one merely moves it to the Deleted Items
folder. If
so, that's good. At least then I can see if it's working properly before I
change to delete permanently.

It'll be a while before I can see if it's working as it's quiet on
weekends. But
should the above filter work?

Thanks.
