5. Under Perform These Actions, select the action(s) you want done with
the e-mails that match the conditions you’ve set.
If you’re creating a rule that deletes specific e-mail, then for obvious rea-
sons, after that rule is applied, Outlook won’t go looking at the rest of
the rules to see if any more might apply to the e-mail. You can change
the order of rules to have Outlook do something to the e-mail before
its deleted, if you want. See the upcoming section, “Changing the rules,”
for help.
6. Click OK.
The rule is added to your other Out of Office rules. To create more rules,
just click Add Rule and then rinse and repeat Steps 2 to 6.
Changing the rules
Just because you created some rules doesn’t mean you’re stuck with them.
You can modify rules to make them work the way you want them to work.
You can also delete rules you don’t need.
To modify an existing rule, follow these steps:
1. Choose Tools➪Out of Office Assistant.
Your rules are displayed in a list, in the Out of Office Rules dialog box, as
shown in Figure 1-5.
2. Select a rule and click Edit Rule.
The Edit Rule dialog box appears (see Figure 1-6).
3. Make changes and click OK twice.
