Creating Message Rules in Microsoft Outlook Create a new rule. In the Outlook Inbox, on the Tools menu, click Rules Wizard.
Click New.
Next click Start creating a rule from a template. Choose the way in which you would like to filter incoming messages. In this example we chose to move messages based on content. Next click specific words from the Rule description box and the Search Text box appears. Simply type the word(s) to filter from you inbox and click Add. Repeat the process one word or word phrase at a time until you’ve added all of the words you want filtered from your inbox. Examples include adult content, free money, debt consolidation, viagra, etc.
All of the words added will show up in the search list. Click OK.
Now in the Rules Wizard box check
specified folder. You have the option to move the filtered messages to an existing folder or create a new folder. In the example below we chose to move filtered messages to a new folder. Click New. Type in a name for the folder you would like to use for the filtered messages. In this example we named the folder Junk. Click OK to create the folder.
With the Junk folder selected click OK.
Click Finish to complete the set up of message rules. Future messages containing the specified words will go to the Junk folder instead of your Inbox. We recommend that you check the folder periodically to make sure that no messages you need have accidentally gone to the Junk folder.
