How do I use Rules in Outlook? Print E-mail

The easy way is to highlight an e-mail in the Inbox for which you want a rule. If you have not created a folder for these e-mails do that now (see FAQ above).

  • click on Create Rule - next to Find, middle of the top Toolbar
  • tick in the first box from...
  • move down to select folder
  • click OK
  • tick on Yes to run Rule for this email
  • check it worked
You can also go to Tools, Rules and Alerts, New rule and follow the wizard screens carefully.  It looks more complicated than it is!
