You should investigate Outlook rules. They are fantastic because you can perform task on your emails while they are going to your inbox, on the fly.
When you add a rule, you obtain this nice first dialog box
So you have here your triggers and you could select any combination of them, but you can choose Advanced Options and…. OMG!
You have a lot of options to choose!!!
After selecting under which circunstances, an email is processed by a rule, you choose witch action to perform over that email.
You can move it, assign categories, delete it, start application, play a sound, etc, etc, etc…
You could add any exceptions to this rule….
And finally, give a name to your rule and decide if you turn on your rule and/or you apply to your current inbox.
So now, tell me that rules are not Great!!
Some examples:
- Every email that contains word “vim” must be labeled with category “Great Editor”, moved to folder “history”, forward to som friends and mark as important.
- Every email from my boss must be market as important, play “Psicosis OST” and printed.
- Every email which subject contains word “enlarge” must be deleted….
