Setting up email notification forwarding rules in your email client

Even though certain automatic notifications mentioned above cannot be specifically sent to a dedicated email address, you have the option to create custom rules within your email client. By utilizing the subject line of the email, you can establish these rules to filter and organize the notifications according to your preferences. This way, you can still manage and prioritize the notifications effectively within your email system.

To create a rule in Outlook using the subject line as a criterion, follow these steps:

1. Open Outlook: Launch the Outlook application on your computer.

2. Go to Rules: Navigate to the "File" tab at the top-left corner of the Outlook window. Click on "Info" from the menu on the left, and then click on "Manage Rules & Alerts."

3. Click on "New Rule": In the "Rules and Alerts" dialog box, click on "New Rule."

4. Start from a Blank Rule: Select "Apply rule on messages I receive" and click "Next."

5. Set Conditions: Scroll down and check the box next to "with specific words in the subject."

6. Specify Words: Click on the underlined "specific words" in the Rule Description section. In the "Search Text" dialog box, type the word or phrase that appears in the subject line of the notifications you want to filter. Click "Add" after typing each word or phrase. Once you've added all relevant words or phrases, click "OK."

7. Define Actions: Click on "Next" after setting up the condition. Here you can choose what action to take with the messages that meet the condition. You might want to select "Move it to the specified folder" to move these messages to a specific folder, or "Display in the New Item Alert Window" to make them stand out more prominently.

8. Finish Rule Setup: Follow the prompts to complete the setup of your rule, including specifying any exceptions if necessary.

9. Name and Save the Rule: Give your rule a descriptive name and click "Finish" to save it.

10. Test the Rule: After creating the rule, you can test it by sending yourself an email that meets the conditions specified in the rule. Ensure that the email is processed according to your expectations.

By following these steps, you can create a rule in Outlook that filters emails based on specific words in the subject line, allowing you to manage notifications effectively.
