how to create rules in the new version of Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.516.100 (Production)?
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
That's what I'm seeing - shame, good to offload though.
The new version looks very pretty, but a lot of useful business support functionality is lost. Personally, I would have preferred a focus on usefulness over prettiness.
Who am I though, I'm just a meager customer....
How do you actually run the rules? The 'no help' pages say to click on the 'file' tab...but there IS no file tab.
Some of them you can run under the Rules > Manage Rules. But not all will run manually or automatically, which make it useless to me.
Does Microsoft actually monitor this thread? My thought would be NO! LOTS of the same.question and no response. No fix either. Think we are just passing in the wind trying to get anywhere with this issue.
Finding how to do certain things in WIN 11 is difficult. I discovered how to set the font in Outlook by accident. Try as I might, I went into all the properties in OUTLOOK to no avail, however, I discovered how to set the font to stay permanently set. When I was in XCEL, I wanted to set the font for a file to be what I wanted everytime I opened a certain file. I set the font and then a window opens up telling me to exit if I wanted the changes to be permanently set. I did this and sure enough, it worked when I opened my file again. I thought, “hey, maybe it will work for Outlook”, so I tried and PRESTO!, It worked there as well! If this is confusing, let me know and I will try to explain in more detail. Hope this helps someone else.
