2. Tell Outlook when to apply this rule.
In the When a Message Arrives That Meets the Following Conditions sec-
tion, select the conditions that define the kinda e-mail you want to do
something special with. For example, maybe you want to do something
special when an e-mail arrives from your boss, or with a Subject line that
includes “Blackford account” or just “Blackford.”
For the lowdown on how to select conditions that define the e-mail you
want to affect and to set Advanced rules options, see Book IX, Chapter 2.
3. If necessary, you can get nitpicky on which e-mails you want to affect
by clicking Advanced and specifying additional conditions. After
you’re done, click OK.
In the Advanced dialog box (see Figure 1-4), you can further define the
e-mails you want this rule to apply to. For example, you might want to do
something special with large e-mails, e-mails received on a particular day
or days, e-mails with attachments, and so on. After making selections,
click OK and you return to the Edit Rule dialog box (refer to Figure 1-3).
4. If you want this particular rule to be applied last, after all other rules,
then select the Do Not Process Subsequent Rules options.
Normally, rules are applied in the order in which they are listed, until
every rule has been applied, but turning on this option changes that.
