The Outlook Inbox is not current and is several days behind. If I do a search for an email which I have seen on another of my devices, it will find it and I am able to send emails. However, the Inbox is not updating to include current emails. A conversation includes all messages in the same thread with the same subject line. From any mail folder, such as your inbox, select View > Show as Conversations to toggle Conversation view on or off. Conversations that include multiple messages are identified in the message list.
Rules are applied to incoming messages and can be created from any folder. To quickly create a rule that moves all email from a specific sender or a set of senders to a folder, right-click a message in your message list that you want to create a rule for, and select Create rule.
Choose the folder where you want all messages from that sender or set of senders to be moved, and then select OK. If you'd like to do more than just move the message from a specific sender or set of senders to a folder, select More options. To create a completely new rule, at the top of the page, select Settings View all Outlook settings Mail Rules.
Click Add new rule. Every rule needs at least three things: A name, a condition, and an action. Rules can also contain exceptions to conditions.
You can add multiple conditions, actions, and exceptions at each step by choosing Add a condition, Add an action, and Add an exception. If you don't want any more rules to run after this one does, select the Stop processing more rules check box. For more information, see. Press Save to create your rule or Discard to cancel rule creation.. Currently, you can't run inbox rules on existing messages in the Outlook.com beta. A new rule is applied only to messages you receive after the rule was created.
However, you can use Archive, Move to, and Sweep to automatically move or delete messages in your inbox. To learn more, see. What else do I need to know? You might have created a rule to forward or redirect messages you receive to another email address. If so, it's important to know the difference between forwarding and redirecting.
A forwarded message appears as a message you received and then forwarded to another recipient. When the recipient replies, the reply will go to the address the message was forwarded from. A redirected message keeps the original sender on the From line. When a recipient that a message was redirected to replies, the reply will go to the original sender. Still need help?
Archiving will move emails off of the network mail server to your local computer, where you will still be able to access them through Outlook. Archiving regularly helps free space on Webster’s email servers. You can archive items manually whenever you want. That way, you can control which items to archive, where to store them, and how old an item needs to be before it can be archived.
Click File Cleanup Tools Archive. Click the Archive this folder and all subfolders option, and select the folder you want to archive. Under Archive items older than, enter a date. Check the Include items with 'Do not AutoArchive' check box to archive individual items that are excluded from automatic archiving. After the archive runs, the emails will be removed from your Inbox and subfolders. You will find these emails under the Archives heading in the left sidebar in Outlook, as shown below. Expand Archives to see all the folders by clicking the arrow to the left of the word Archives.
See the contents of any folder by clicking on the folder name. To return to your inbox, click the arrow button in the upper-left-hand corner of the Outlook window.
