Rules in Outlook 2007
Auto-Reply for all messages without subject
This rule will be useful if you receive a lot of messages (for example, reports) from your colleagues and
use rules to copy or move correspondence to the specific folders (like Rule
to copy all correspondence about some subject to the specific folder or Rule
to move all correspondence about some subject to the specific folder). Unfortunately those rules
wouldn't work for messages with empty subject, but you still can create a rule to send an Auto-Reply if the
message don't have a subject.
Export and import rules
Outlook rules could be exported and imported from file. E.g., you can export rules to a file, send this file
as an e-mail attachment or place it on a network share (or a local share) for backup purposes or to allow
other users to access it.
Rule to display mail from somebody
If you are waiting for the important e-mail from someone or need to be informed when your boss sends you an
e-mail, create an alert rule and give a rest to your brain. You will be informed promptly by alert as soon
as Outlook receives such kind of e-mail.
Rule to copy all correspondence on some subject to the specific folder
Use Outlook rules to copy all incoming messages to the specified folder. E.g., copy all e-mails with
OfficeToolTips tips subject to the OfficeToolTips folder.
Rule to move all correspondence on some subject to the specific folder
Use Outlook rules to copy all incoming messages to the specified folder. E.g., copy all e-mails about the
SAP to the SAP project folder.

to anyone who sends you a message.

Use Outlook rules to move all incoming messages to the specified folder. E.g., copy all e-mails from [email protected] to the OfficeToolTips
folder.
