Rules

My boss currently receives and is able to see MEETING REQUESTS in his inbox. I want this to continue going forward, however, when my boss or I sent a meeting invite from his Calendar, how can I sent up a rule which automatically hides or transfers the meeting responses into a folder other than his Inbox?. To summarise, he likes to see the meeting requests coming in, but doesn't want to see the responses coming back! I have attempted to set up a Rule based on what I've learned today and I am satisfied the logic in the rule makes sense, but it doesn't appear to work in practice! Thank you.

RE: Rules

Hi Sarah

Thanks for your post. From what you have related I will assume you have created the rule and that the issue is the responses are not being sent to the designated folder you have set up.

I would do the following to check what is happening.

In Outlook goto "Tools" on the menu bar and select "Rules & Alerts"
Then you can select the rule you created and check in the "Rule description" box that you have got a specified folder set up.

I know this may sound obvious but worth a try if you have not done so yet.

If this still does not work please let me know.

Regards

Jacob

Outlook tip:

Remind yourself to reply to messages

Responding to email messages as they arrive can interrupt your work flow and lead to decreased productivity.

Why not set reminders to respond to messages that do not require an immediate reply so you can set aside a time to respond to messages all at once?

By right-clicking on a message, you can access a shortcut menu. Select Follow Up, and then click Add Reminder.
