Rules in GroupWise

Rules are often created to assist you in managing your Mailbox. For example, if you receive an electronic newsletter from an organization, you may wish to have those messages automatically moved to a different folder. Click here to setup a rule to forward mail to another account.

1. Using the menus, choose Tools-->Rules.
2. In the Rules dialog box, click the New button.
3. Type in a descriptive name for the rule.
   
   Each rule has 3 parts: an event, conditions and an action.
   
4. Choose the item and the event that triggers the rule.  The most common item is “New Item” and the most common event is “Received”
5. Define the conditions.  A common condition is item type “Mail” or “Appointment”.  Another common condition is that the item be from a particular person. Click the Define Conditions… button to select options.
6. Choose a response.  A commonly used response is to move items to a folder.  Another common response is to automatically reply with a status message.  Click the Add Action button, and define the response.
