You have already learned how to organize messages by moving them from your
Inbox into personal subfolders. Outlook can also automatically organize certain
messages for you. Outlook can save you time sorting through unwanted “junk”
Email, highlight messages from certain people, even move specified messages into
other folders upon delivery.
-
Open the Inbox folder. (For some options you will need to have messages
in the Inbox.)
-
Click Organize on the toolbar, or on the Tools menu, click Organize. The
Ways to Organize Inbox dialog box opens at the top of the message pane.
-
There are 4 options available on the left side of the dialog box: Using
Folders, Using Colors, Using Views, and Junk Email.
-
Click Using Folders to create new folders, open the Rules
Wizard, and move messages to other folders. You can easily create a rule
to move messages from a certain sender into another folder upon delivery.
-
Click Using Colors to color code messages by sender.
-
Click Using Views to select how you see messages in your Inbox.
-
Click Junk Email to color code junk and adult content messages, or have
them sent directly to Deleted Items or another folder. You can also add
senders to the junk or adult content filters.
-
When you are finished, click Organize to close the dialog box.
-
You can organize messages that have already been moved to other folders
by opening that folder and then clicking Organize.
