Rules Wizard


The Rules Wizard helps you manage your e-mail messages by using rules to automatically perform actions on messages. After you create a rule, Microsoft Outlook applies the rule when messages arrive in your Inbox or when you send a message.

You can create a rule in three ways. You can create a new rule and fill in all conditions, or you can copy and modify an existing rule. If you already have a message that matches some of the conditions you want to check for, you can also base a rule on a message, and then fill in the rest of the conditions. For example, you can select a message in a conversation, and then create a rule to ignore the conversation.

Create a new rule
    Click Inbox .

        On the Tools menu, click Rules Wizard.

            Click New.

                Follow the instructions in the Rules Wizard.

If you want to run a newly created rule on messages already in the Inbox, select the Run this rule now on messages already in Inbox check box in the last page of the Rules Wizard.
Tip   If you want to run a newly created rule on messages in a folder other than the Inbox, click Rules Wizard on the Tools menu, and then click Run Now.

Don't forget, you can click on your Office Assistant for more help!!
