How to move emails from a sender to a folder in Outlook (web)

This tutorial will show you step by step how to automatically move all incoming emails from a specific sender to a folder in the Outlook web app (OWA).

The Outlook web app (outlook.live.com/owa/) is a free web-based email client provided by Microsoft that allows you to access your Outlook, Hotmail, or Live email account.

Steps

1. First, you will need to create a new folder where you want to receive the emails from that specific sender. To do so, go to the “Folders” section in the left side menu and click on New folder. Note: You may need to scroll down in the “Folders” section to see the New folder option.

2. Enter a name for the new folder.

3. Press the [Enter] key on your keyboard.

5. Click on View all Outlook settings at the bottom of the menu.

6. Click on Rules.

7. Click on + Add new rule.
