Using Filters in Outlook XP/2003 to Sort Mail

Posted Sep 15, 2005 by David Risley  

One of the problems that you may frequently encounter is the large amount of email that can congest your inbox, ranging from spam to newsletters to confidential correspondence. There is a feature in Outlook XP/2003 that allows you to quickly “sort” through mail; this feature is found at Tools -> Rules and Alerts. Choose to set up a new rule by clicking “New Rule” and follow the wizard presented to you. Though the wizard is quite expansive (much too large for a tip of the day), actions like “Move to” and conditions such as “Sender” are self-explanatory. Once you set up the rules, run them to sort existing mail and apply them to sort new incoming mail.
