Imagine the situation you have subscribed to many services and you receive emails from different companies and you would like to have emails from one company in its separate folder to quickly view new emails or you want to have a separate folder for incoming messages from your friends or you just do not want to receive emails from certain people and would like to delete these emails. Outlook Express provides a great variety of such rules that can be created and customized by the end-user.

To configure rules in Outlook Express perform next steps:

1. Launch Outlook Express > go to Tools > Message rules > Mail.

2. Configure appropriate rules. E.g. if the From line contains people from your organization. Click on Contains people to select or deselect contacts.

3. Specify the folder there to move emails from  these people.

4. Select the folder by clicking on Specified:

5. That's it. Now new rules has been created and new messages from these people will be automatically moved to the specified folder.
