Implementing E-mail Filtering in Outlook Express
Outlook Express filters are called "Rules" and are found in the Inbox Assistant. By using the Inbox Assistant, you can have incoming messages that meet certain criteria sent to the folders you want, forwarded to a contact in your address book or even thrown away. To establish Rules, just follow the simple steps below:
- From the Tools menu, select Inbox Assistant.
- Click Add and a Properties window will open.
- Define the criteria you want the incoming messages to match by typing in the appropriate fields in the top portion of the window.
- In the Perform the following action area, define the desired action by checking the appropriate box, then click the folder, person or file you want to send the matching incoming messages to.
- When you have finished, click OK. The Inbox Assistant window will reappear with your rule (filter). If it appears correct, click OK and your filter will be saved.
- Once saved, the filter can be removed or modified by using the Inbox Assistant.
Tips
- You can specify multiple filters or rules for incoming messages.
- To change the priorities by which messages are sorted, click the Move Up or Move Down buttons in the Inbox Assistant dialog box.
