File After Reading Rule

Previous Next

 

 

 

This rule will file messages to a folder after it has been read. The rule will run in the background once per hour filing read messages. The source folder will be auto populated based on the message selected in your Outlook folder tree. The from people list will be automatically populated with the from address(s) of the selected message(s) in your inbox before you click to create the rule. You can also choose to file all read messages and not restrict the rule to a single person. The move to folder will be suggested automatically based on your folder naming patterns and other algorithms. It may be blank initially, but should start to show suggestions as you build more rules.

After the rule is created, you can rename the rule, test the rule, or view the detailed rule property settings.
