Manage email messages by using rules
Rules allow you to move, flag, and respond to email messages automatically. You can also use rules to play sounds, move messages to folders, or display new item alerts. The easiest and most common rule to create is one that allows you to move an item from a certain sender or with certain words in the subject line to another folder. You can create this rule directly from a message you've already received. Right-click a message in your inbox or another email folder and select Rules. Select one of the options. Outlook automatically suggests creating a rule based on the sender and the recipients. To view more options, select Create Rule. In the Create Rule dialog box, select one or more of the first three checkboxes. In the Do the following section, if you want the rule to move a message to a folder, check the Move item to folder box, then select the folder from the Select Folder dialog that pops up, and then click OK. Click OK to save your rule. Note: If you want to run the rule on messages you've already received, check the box on the confirmation dialog that pops up and then click OK. Create a rule using the Rules Wizard There are three types of rules you can create with the Rules Wizard. Stay organized: These rules help you filter, file, and follow-up with messages. Stay up to date: These rules notify you when you receive a message that fits a specific set of criteria. Custom rules: These are rules you create without a template. Rules are almost infinitely customizable. There are a variety of options you can set for each type of rule you create. Use the following steps to learn how to create a rule using the Rules Wizard.

Email Etiquette- Reply All
"Only use Reply All with caution." Reply vs. Reply All If someone sends an email to more than one person, you have two options when replying. Clicking "Reply" sends your message to the email's sender. Clicking "Reply All" sends your message to everyone who received the original. Think of it as a chat room or a meeting. Everyone who received the email is now sitting in the same room. If you whisper something to the original sender, that's Reply. If you stand up and announce something to the whole room, that's Reply All. Senders can prevent “Reply All” The person sending the email can prevent a “Reply All” from occurring. To do this, use the Bcc “Blind Carbon Copy” functionality. When the Bcc option is used, it first masks the list of those being blind copied. Recipients cannot see who else was Bcc’d. When a recipient is Bcc’d, they will not be able to Reply All! So, if the sender does not want anyone to Reply All, it’s best to include all recipients in the Bcc field. Look at the recipients Always look at the recipient list to ensure that only the people who need to be copied on a message receive your reply. It is good practice to use Reply All and weed out unnecessary recipients when you need to answer a subset of the original recipients.
