Objectifs :
This video aims to teach users how to create and manage rules in Outlook Online to streamline their email organization and enhance productivity.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Outlook Online Rules
Outlook Online allows users to create rules that automate actions on incoming or outgoing messages based on specified conditions. This feature is particularly useful for organizing your inbox and managing emails efficiently. -
Understanding Rules
A rule in Outlook Online is an automated action that the platform performs on emails based on criteria you set. One of the most practical rules is the automatic categorization of emails, which helps in organizing your inbox effectively. -
Creating Rules: Method 1
The first method to create a rule is by right-clicking on a message and selecting the 'Create Rule' option. This allows you to redirect emails from a specific sender to a designated folder with just a few clicks. After making your selection, validate and save your choice. You can also choose to apply this rule immediately to your Inbox, affecting emails received before the rule was created. -
Creating Rules: Method 2
The second method involves creating a rule from scratch. To do this, click on 'Settings' at the top right of your screen, then select 'Rules' and click on 'Add New Rule.' Give your rule a name. For example, to categorize emails based on keywords in the subject or body, set the condition to 'Message body includes' and specify the desired keyword in the text field that appears. -
Defining Actions and Exceptions
After setting the condition, define the action Outlook should take. For instance, you can choose to categorize the message under the 'Mark Message' section and select the desired category. You can also perform multiple actions within a single rule, such as moving the message to a specific folder. Additionally, you can add exceptions to the rule, for example, if the message is sent by a specific colleague. -
Prioritizing Rules
When creating rules, it is essential to define your needs clearly. To prioritize a rule, check the 'Stop processing more rules' box. This ensures that only the selected rule is applied to relevant messages, even if they meet the criteria for other rules. Outlook allows multiple active rules, which can sometimes conflict with each other. -
Saving and Managing Rules
Once your rule is defined, click 'Save' to validate it. You will return to the list of rules, where you can see that your rule has been activated. You can modify the rule at any time by clicking on the pencil icon or delete it if necessary. If you wish to disable the rule without deleting it, simply toggle the switch next to its name. -
Conclusion
Creating and managing rules in Outlook Online can significantly enhance your email organization and productivity. By automating actions based on specific criteria, you can ensure that your inbox remains organized and that important messages are easily accessible.
