Outlooks and setting up rules for incoming mail

Raymond Lin · 1 May 2009 at 20:17

anyone know how i can set up a rule in outlook to move certain emails from certain address into a specific folder?

Basically my outlook is set up to fetch emails from my gmail account and mail from my website. In order not to confuse it with spam and junk, i would like all the emails coming from my website into a separate folder, how do i do that?

Thanks

Not certain if it's the best way, but I used the rules wizard (tools > rules & alerts > new rule > start from blank rule) and checked the "through the specified account" option. Clicking the highlighted 'specified' should allow you to pick the correct incoming account (as I did for my hotmail). Next > move to specified folder, and you should be in business.

Outlook 2003 btw.

Same for Outlook 2007 as well.
