Outlook (new): How to create a rule to auto-forward emails

Anonymous

I recently upgraded to the new Outlook desktop app for Windows. Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.1004.400 (Production). Client Version is 20231006004.14.

In the old Outlook 365 I could set up a rule to automatically forward emails based on sender, subject, etc. I don't see how to do this in the new Outlook.

Any suggestions on how this can be accomplished?

Thanks in advance.

    That's not true. I am making rules all day long in the New Outlook. I did have trouble at first and there are some rules that don't seem to work for some reason but most of them are working. I wonder if it's the account type; why you're unable to use rules.

    I go to View

    View Settings

    Rules and start making them.

    I couldn't find a way to import them which is a bummer!

    And my version of the New Outlook is Business Basic

    Hope that helps.

    You are absolutley right. There are no ways in the "New Outlook" to create "Rules" to better organize one's emails, so therefore I use the "Classic Outlook" which gives me a lot more control over my incoming emails. As far as forwarding automatically, I haven't yet found that gem.

    I do not see "Rules" when I follow these instructions.

    I determined the latest cloud version of Outlook does not have certain useful tasks - it is a very stripped down version. I reverted back to the desktop version from 365.

    You are not alone. I am having the same problem with my newly purchased laptop.
