Quick Tips
- You will have to create some rules to auto-delete and auto-archive emails from Outlook.
- In the Outlook app, select the email > Click on three dots > Create Rule > Add info to create a rule for moving the messages from the sender to Deleted Items.
- You can also add conditions to delete emails containing specific words or phrases.
Create Auto-Delete Rule from the Email
First, the Rules function is only available on Outlook Windows/Mac app and Outlook Web. In this post, I will mention the steps for the Outlook web version.
Step 1: Open Outlook web and then sign in to your account.
Step 2: Select an irrelevant email and then open it.
Step 3: Tap on the three-dot menu and select Create Rule.
Step 4: Create a rule to move the messages from the sender to Deleted Items.
After that, all the emails from the sender will move to the deleted inbox directly. You can still access them from the Deleted Items menu in the folders.
Create Auto-Delete Rules from Outlook Settings
The scenario above moves all the emails from the sender to deleted items, but what if someone wants to delete emails with certain subjects or certain keywords from the message body.
For example, I don’t want to receive the loan offers, Coronavirus updates, or any other marketing junk from my bank. However, I do want to receive the monthly statement and credit card bill in my mail. So, how to set up such rules? Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open Outlook web and then head to Settings.
Step 2: View all Outlook settings, and it will pop out the dedicated settings menu.
Step 3: Select the Rules option and then select Add new rule.
Step 4: Give it a name and then add a condition.
Step 5: Add keywords that no longer are relevant to you.
Step 6: Create a rule to move all the emails to the delete folder > Click on Run rule now > Save.
Now, whenever you receive the emails with Loan, EMI, or Important keywords, they will be automatically moved to the delete folder.
