Exchange: Creating Rules
A rule is an action that your email application automatically performs on sent or received email messages. Rules are based on conditions that you specify, for example, moving all messages from a specific person into a folder other than your Inbox.
IT Services recommends creating server-side rules in Outlook Web App (OWA). Server-side rules remain in effect no matter how or where you access your email. Rule configuration is not available in the light version of Outlook Web App, which launches in unsupported legacy browsers.
