# How to Let Outlook Sort Your Mail (Part 2)

How to Have Outlook Sort Your Emails (Part 2)

To automatically sort emails, there is an Outlook solution that I already introduced in the [previous article (Part 1)](https://lookeen.com/blog/how-to-let-outlook-sort-your-mail-part-1/): the Rule Wizard. Many things are possible with the Rule Wizard because it is very complex. It is therefore important to familiarize yourself with it a bit and create rules carefully so that you do not accidentally define a rule that irreversibly deletes all incoming emails.

The general process for creating rules:

-   Determine which incoming or outgoing emails should be captured by a rule.
-   Determine the target for these emails. Should they be moved to a specific folder, flagged, or deleted?
-   Determine exceptions.
-   Determine the rule name and enable or disable the rule.

Next week, we will continue with [Part 3](https://lookeen.com/blog/how-to-let-outlook-sort-your-mail-part-3) and [Part 4](https://lookeen.com/blog/how-to-let-outlook-sort-your-mail-part-4)!
