The new rule window has three sections:

Section

Description

When the message arrives and:

Use this box to select criteria for your rule. Use the down arrow to view and select the criteria you want to use.

If the criteria have additional options, enter them in the window that appears.

Do the following:

Use this box to select the action you want taken when a message arrives that meets the criteria you selected.

More Options

Use More Options to:

Add additional conditions or actions to a rule.

Add exceptions to a rule by selecting Add Exception.

Turn on or turn off the option to stop processing more rules. By default, the option to stop processing more rules is turned on. With this option on, when a message comes in that meets the criteria for more than one rule, only the first rule will be applied. Without this setting, all rules that the message meets the criteria for are applied.

For example, without Stop processing more rules selected, if you have a rule to move all messages sent to a public group to a particular folder and another rule to move anything from your manager to another folder, and your manager then sends a message to that group, you'll find a copy of the message in both folders. If you want only the rule that moves messages from your manager to be applied, put that rule higher in the list than the rule that moves messages sent to the group, and then edit the first rule to add the option to stop processing more rules.

Create a custom name for a rule.


How do I edit a rule?

You can edit any rule by selecting it and choosing 1 edit to open the rule so that you can change the conditions or actions of the rule.


How do I delete a rule?

If you have a rule that you no longer want, you can select it and then click 1 delete to remove it. If you just want to turn the rule off for a while, remove the check mark next to the rule.


d. How to get back the items that I have deleted in Office 365 mailbox?
