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.

    Hi, I am also having trouble with accessing the Rule menu in the new Outlook. I believe I have set up a rule previously in the New Outlook, but have recently connected an external O365 account and now the Rule menu has gone missing. The old rule seems to be working, I just can't find it or create a new rule. Thanks in advance.

    I have Office 2021 Pro and the option to do rules on microsoft accounts is still there. But in the new Outlook, rules are missing.

    Microsoft Outlook 365 for comparison

    I'm having the same problem! Stupid me went with Microsoft 365 when i got a new computer instead of the newest version of Office. I've had nothing but problems with Outlook! Now I can't set any rules. In looking at your pics, I don't have a "rules" option in my view settings. I've gone to the help section and all the help provided is for an older version of Microsoft 365 or outlook. And I have no way of going back to an older version.
