How can I filter my incoming email in Outlook?
Answer
Filtering or pre-sorting your email into folders is a great option to save you time and get organized.
How can you automatically pre-sort your email as it comes in? Simple! Use Outlook's email Rules and Alerts feature.
Here is how:
- In Outlook email, right click on your Inbox and create a new folder for your first filter.
- Example folders:
- Emails from a certain person or group or list
- Emails with a specific word in their subject line
- Once you have the folder created, let it be for the moment.
- Example folders:
- At the top of the page, look for the File tab and then Manage Rules and Alerts.
- Once in Rules and Alerts:
- Create a New Rule
- You will have many options...follow the options given in the Outlook Rules Wizard.
- Use the folder you set up earlier for this particular rule.
- Create a New Rule
