2.8. How to set a mailbox rule through the Outlook web version

1.  Go to https://www.office.com/ and sign in with your Evergreen email and password.  Once logged in, select Outlook from the list of apps. This will open your personal Evergreen mailbox.

2.  Skip to step 3 if you are applying the rule to your personal mailbox. To open a different mailbox, select the profile picture icon at the top right and choose "Open another mailbox". Enter the address of the mailbox and select "Open".

3.  Click the settings icon and chose "View all Outlook settings".

4.  Go to Mail > Rules and select "Add new rule".

5.  You will be presented with a couple options: naming the rule, the condition that triggers the rule, and the action that will happen once the condition is met. The example I have below will take any email with "Urgent" in the subject line and mark it as high importance. An exception to the rule can be made by selecting "Add an exception". Make sure when you are done creating the rule to save it.
