8. Outlook Rules
OWA allows you to set up Rules to manage your messages. For example, you could create a rule to automatically direct any message containing the word "orchestra" in the subject line into a particular folder (instead of your Inbox).
To access the Rules editor, click [Options] and then
[See All Options] and choose [Organise E-Mail].
To create a new rule, click on the dropdown button next to the New... button
and choose the
type of rule that you want. If none of the options apply, choose [Create a new
rule for arriving messages] to access the full range of options.
8.1. If you run Outlook software
If you use Outlook installed on a computer, it is important to note that rules are shared between Outlook and OWA. You can create rules in OWA and they will be active whether you use Outlook or OWA.
However, OWA can only access rules that are set as active. Outlook gives you the able to disable them (to make them inactive). If you choose to do then we advise that you only use Outlook to set rules as if you create a new rule from OWA it will delete any rules that were inactive in Outlook.
For further details about OWA rules click on the OWA Help button
found on the Rules screen.
