How to Create Microsoft Outlook Rules


 Start by opening Outlook and clicking on "Tools," then "rules and alerts." Now click "new rule."

A new menu will appear with a number of different starting points for you to create a rule from. Select one of the options, then click the blue links at the bottom to fill in the specifics for each of the different variables in the rule.

For instance, if we wanted to make a rule that moved every piece of mail with the word "schedule" in the subject, we would click the "move messages option." For the word, we would enter "schedule" and tell Outlook to move these to the "schedule" folder.

From here, click next to review all of the variables again, or just click "finish" if you're done.
