Creating rules

S

Steve Davies

Can anyone suggest the easiest way to organise incoming emails via rules? In
Outlook 2004 I could select an email, hit 'organise' and then create a rule
to transfer emails from that sender to a particular folder. It was all very
easy and straight forward.

With entourage (and my first foray into Mac) there does not seem to be an
easy way to do this. Is there something that I am missing? Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Check out the Rules section on the Entourage Help Page:

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/rules/basics.html>

First step is to use the Mailing List Manaer (MLM) to manage your list mail.
If you have a message open from a list, the MLM will automatically enter the
info. This feature also applies to creating a rule.

After you have set up your MLM, set your Junk Mail Filter for preferences.
Then for remaining mail, you will need to set up a rule. Note if you want a
rule to run on the MLM mail, then you will need to set the option to allow
rules in the MLM. Same feature applies to creating a rule.

There are lots of examples in the Rules section. Using Categories really
helps to create simple rules.

If you need any help creating a rule, just ask.

Hope this helps and welcome to the Mac.
