Click “Next >” when you are ready to continue. Then click the blue hyperlinks in the bottom box to “fill-in-the-blanks” in the rule. You can check the actions listed at the top of the dialog box to append them to the rule at the bottom of the dialog box. In the next screen, you must decide what action the rule should take when it receives an item that matches the criteria you just set. Click “Next >” to continue when you are ready. Then click on the blue hyperlinks in the rule at the bottom of the dialog box to “fill-in-the-blanks” in the rule. If you started from a template, some of this is already done, but you can add more criteria if necessary. In the next screen, you can use the “Step 1: Select condition(s):” list at the top to check various criteria that you will see appended to the rule below. When you are finished on this screen, click “Next >” to continue. The rule description will appear in the “Step 2: Edit the rule description” section at the bottom of the dialog box with hyperlinks indicating places that you need to click into and “fill-in-the-blanks” in the rule template. In the “Rules Wizard,” you will need to select one of the templates from the list shown in the “Step 1: Select a template” area. Ensure that you are viewing the “E-mail Rules” tab, and then click the “New Rule…” button in the upper left corner of that tab to launch the “Rules Wizard.” In either version, the “Rules and Alerts” dialog box will then appear. To access this wizard in Outlook 2007, select “Tools| Rules and Alerts…” from the Menu Bar. To access this wizard in Outlook 2010, click the “Rules” button in the “Move” group on the “Home” tab in the Ribbon, and then select the “Manage Rules & Alerts…” command. You can then start the “Rules Wizard” to assist you in creating the necessary rule criteria and actions that you want the rule to perform when an item is received in the mailbox that matches the specified criteria. To create a mailbox rule, first select the mailbox folder for which you want to create a rule. You can also turn them on and off without having to delete and recreate them. They can also be modified at a later date, or deleted if they no longer apply. The rules will be acted upon in sequence from top to bottom through the list of rules created for that mailbox. You can have multiple rules applied to a single mailbox.
