Do you feel overwhelmed by the emails you receive in your DMU Email Account? Can't find or miss important information?
Outlook can automatically move emails from specific senders into folders for you to check on a regular basis so you don't miss that key information.
You create a folder for specific emails (ie. from your programme team, DSU or another part of the university) and then you can tell Outlook to move any new emails from that sender to that folder. This is called a Rule.
Creating a Rule
Click on an email from a sender you wish to set-up a Rule with the right-hand mouse button. Then click on the Rules and the Create rule options:
Then either select an existing folder or create a new folder:
To create a new folder, name your folder and then click on Save:
Then click on OK:
Then tick the box and click on OK:
The rule is now set-up and running. It has moved any existing emails from the sender in your Inbox into the folder and any new emails will automatically be moved.
To change or delete a rule. Go to the folder where the emails are being moved to, then:
Right-mouse click on an email -> Click on Rules -> Manage Rules
