Use the Rules Wizard to create complex rules that earmark messages with words in the message body or earmark messages sent to distribution lists. You can also create a rule to flag messages automatically or delete a conversation (the original message and all replies).
To run the Rules Wizard, click the Rules and Alerts button or choose Tools, Rules and Alerts. You see the Rules and Alerts dialog box. Click the New Rule button and keep clicking Next in the Rules Wizard dialog boxes as you complete the two steps to create a rule:
Choose the rule you want to create or how you want to be alerted in the New Item Alerts message box.
Click a hyperlink to open a dialog box and describe the rule.
For example, click the Specific Words link to open the Search Text dialog box and enter the words that earmark a message. Click the Specified link to open the Rules and Alerts dialog box and choose a folder to move the messages to. You must click each link in the Step 2 box to describe the rule.
To edit a rule, double-click it in the Rules and Alerts dialog box and complete Steps 1 and 2 all over again
