| E-mail has become a crucial part of campus communication. More and more messages are received each day. How do you cope with the increased volume of messages and still keep your sanity? Setting up rules allows you to organize incoming messages that meet certain criteria. For example, you can quickly organize mail automatically as it is received. The Outlook Rules Wizard leads you through three basic steps to create a rule to manage your messages: selecting a condition, applying an action to the items returned by the condition, and entering exceptions to the condition.
To create a rule
-
On the Tools menu, click Rules and Alerts and then click New Rule.
-
Review the rule actions and click the action you want to apply. Remember to click the underlined words in the Rule description box to identify the specifics for the rule to affect. Click Next.
-
Click Move it to the specified folder, and then click the underlined word specified in the Rule description box to select the folder of your choice.
-
Click Next to move to the next step.
-
Click Next to move past the exceptions step and then click Finish. You can change the name of the rule if you like and you can have it apply to the existing messages in your Inbox.
-
Click OK to close the Rules Wizard. At this point you can go through the Wizard again to create more rules.
