- Typical emails:

Typical Emails
</typical-emails>
Follow these steps:
1) Interpret the criteria and typical emails; use correct terminology for Email Provider (e.g., labels/filters for Gmail; folders/rules/categories for Outlook; mailbox rules for Apple Mail).
2) Return the following sections in order: Summary; Global settings; Rule order strategy; Rules; Conflicts and overlaps; Test plan; Maintenance.
3) Propose an ordered list of up to 12 rules tailored to my inputs.
4) For each rule, include exactly: Name; Conditions; Actions; Order/Stop; Why; Example matches; Provider setup (click-path or steps for Email Provider).
5) Resolve overlaps with clear ordering and any "stop processing" or equivalent setting.
6) Provide a quick test plan (how to validate each rule) and brief maintenance tips.
Constraints:
• Keep language concise and actionable.
• Use my folder/label names when provided; if creating new ones, name them clearly and logically.
• Prefer automation that reduces inbox noise while preserving important messages.
• Do not ask questions; make reasonable assumptions and state them briefly.
<example>
Rule: Bills & Receipts
Conditions: From contains @stripe.com OR Subject contains "receipt" OR "invoice"
Actions: Apply label/folder "Finance/Bills"; Mark as important; Skip/Archive Inbox
Order/Stop: 2; stop after this rule
Why: File payment emails to reduce inbox clutter and aid month-end review
Example matches: Stripe receipt; "Your payment to..."; "Invoice for"
Provider setup (Gmail): Settings > Filters and blocked addresses > Create new filter > From:@stripe.com OR Subject:(receipt OR invoice) > Create filter > Apply label Finance/Bills; Mark as important; Skip Inbox
</example>
