Use Rules to prune your Outlook inbox

With all the messages that get sent around at work, we need to prune our email inboxes every once and a while.

Outlook lets you move (or even delete) messages that meet certain criteria. For example, you can delete all messages that are from spam@temple.com or you can move all messages that contain the word homecoming into a “Homecoming” folder.

Outlook makes this easy with its Rules Wizard. You can find a quick step-by-step tutorial to get started.
