Use Outlook Rules to forward incoming e-mails
An Outlook tutorial by BizSolutions365.com


In Microsoft Outlook you can create rules for incoming E-mails. A rule performs an action automatically, based on the conditions you have specified. For example, an e-mail can be moved from the inbox to a specific folder according to the condition you have assigned to the rule.

Note that rules do not apply to e-mails that have been read. They only apply to unread e-mails.

To create rules for Outlook follow the steps below:


1. Open Outlook and click on the Rules button under the HOME tab.
2. Select Create Rule.



3. A Create Rule dialog will open. Here you can select conditions through checkboxes (Refer to the image below).

  • You can create a rule for a specific person. When he/she sends you an e-mail, it will automatically be moved to the specific folder that you will assign.
  • You can also specify a word (For example, Folder HelpDesk) in the subject. When an e-mail subject contains that word, the e-mail will automatically be moved to the folder that you will assign.


1. Click on Select Folder. A Rules and Alerts dialog will open. Under Choose a folder, select a folder or click on New.

  • When you click on the New, a Create New Folder dialog will open. Write the name you want to give to the folder (for example,,FHDLiveMonitoring in the image below) and click OK.


  • Now a folder named FHDLiveMonitoring is created.


1. Click OK. A Success dialog will open. To run this rule on messages already in the current folder check the checkbox.
2. Now click on OK. The rule is created.
