Trying to setup the "e-mail-in node" to pick up e-mails only that are originated by one particular sender.  
There is no such criteria in the menu, however there is an intriguing criteria

- set from msg.criteria -

How do I set custom criteria using this menu item?

Thanks,

Hi - the underlying library is [https://github.com/mscdex/node-imap](https://github.com/mscdex/node-imap) - search that page for criteria should find you what you want.  
(meanwhile I'l add a pointer to the info)
