1. Create a new folder
Open your Outlook app, right click on "Inbox" and create a new folder. This folder will be the container where the emails will be redirected to e.g. Newsletters.
2. Open the Rules menu
Open any email in your Inbox – by double-clicking on it - then go to the “Move” tab of the ribbon and click on Rules | Create Rule.

Figure: Open the Rules dialog
3. Setup the condition and action
In the “Create Rule” dialog, choose the following options
- a condition e.g. Subject contains: Newsletter
- an action e.g. Move the item to folder: Newsletters

Figure: Setup your preferences
4. Save your changes
Just click "OK" and you're done. From now on, all the Newsletter emails will automatically be moved into the Newsletter folder.
By using Outlook rules, you can efficiently manage your inbox without having to manually sort through emails. Once set up, your emails will automatically move into their designated folders, helping you stay organized and productive.
