Email rules can be used for many things in Outlook: automatically
move incoming emails to a folder other than the Inbox; highlight
an incoming email with a color or have your computer play a
special sound; automatically delete an email when it arrives or
send it to the Junk box. There are many uses for rules in
Outlook.
In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create a rule to put email
automatically into the Trash folder. You might do this
because you're getting spam (junk) email from a spammer but he or
she is using different email addresses. Whatever the reason,
here's how to create the rule:
1)
Right-click on an email for which you want to create the rule.
2) From the menu which appears, move your mouse to RULES and
then left-click on Create Rule.
3) For this tutorial, we'll use the
subject as the reason to trigger the rule. In this case, the
subject is: *Your *Credit Score May Have Just Changed.
We will create a rule that sends any email that has this as the
subject to the Junk Folder. Put a checkmark in front of
"Subject."
4)
Next, put a checkmark in front of
"Move the item to folder:" and then click on "Select folder."
5) From the list of folders
which appears, select JUNK EMAIL and click OK, then OK again.
7) From now on, when an email comes in with that subject, Outlook should automatically move it to the Junk Email folder.
