Are there any guidelines or info on how to create rules for you Outlook inbox?

Answer 1

The easiest way to create rules is when you see an email and then create a rule for it. For example, you get an email from your boss and you realize you want to move all of his or her email to a sub folder, so you can easily find them. In this case:

1. Right-click a message in your inbox or another email folder and select Rules.
2. Select one of the options. Outlook automatically suggests creating a rule based on the sender and the recipients. To view more options, select Create Rule.
3. In the Create Rule dialog box, select one or more of the first three checkboxes.
4. In the Do the following section, if you want the rule to move a message to a folder, check the Move item to folder box, then select the folder from the Select Folder dialog that pops up, and then click OK.
5. Click OK to save your rule.
