How do I automatically file non-urgent emails in Outlook?

We all receive ‘non-urgent’ emails and a great way to keep focus is to auto-move them into a folder for later viewing.

  1. Locate the email you wish to auto-file for later viewing.
  2. RIGHT-CLICK on it, selecting Rules from the context menu.
  3. The easiest condition to use is the “Always move emails from [that sender]”.

 

Here we have selected NEW to create a new folder for our ‘News’ emails.

 

Our RULES wizard has now:

  • created a sub-folder called ‘News’.
  • moved the current email we right clicked on into this folder.
  • moved any other email that match the condition into the folder.
  • created a new rule, so any new emails matching that sender will also land in this folder.
