Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
I'm having difficulty with the way rules work in the 3 different environments that MSO offers: web, PC, mobile. They all seem to work independently and cause confusion and a lack of functionality.
I took the (large amount of time) to set up many rules in MSO365 on the web, thinking that these would be server-based rules and run ahead of the client (MSO365 for PC), and also provide rules for the MSO365 for iOS. What I find is that none of the rules set up on the web affect the results on either the mobile or PC environment! I had to recreate many of the rules on the PC, and of course there is no way to create rules on mobile, so I can't filter anything there!!
This is very frustrating. The only thing that appears to transfer from the web version to both the PC and mobile versions is the creation of new folders.
Why is the whole rules process so cumbersome and lacking any sort of conformity?
