  (All of this and more is in the online help for Filters and the filter language 
ICSL.)

  To search the body of a message for one or more of a set of words:
    ( body = "word1"
    | body = "word2"
    | body = "word3"
       ...etc...
    )
The parentheses are handy if you want to add exceptions to the main rule. For instance 
if Jane Doe persistently uses word1, you add the exception:
    & !(from = "Jane Doe")


  To search for a substring of the form XXX*:
    h.subject.b = "xxx"

It finds xxx, xxxx, xxxxx, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, etc.


  To filter incoming mail and move a message:
1. Go to Account->Filters...
2. Select (or create) a filter
3. In the "Type" section select "Incoming"
4. In The "Actions" sections select "Move Message" in the first dropdown.
5. To the right another dropdown appears. Select the folder to move the message.
6. Select OK.
