Manual Outlook Rules

[ehines91]

Hello everyone,

I've been searching all over the internet to see if it would be possible to only have the Outlook "Rules" be set to manual (ie - instead of them being automatic, I want to be able to hit the "Run Rules" button and then the rules will apply).

Reason I want to do this is because I like how Gmail is set up where there are labels attached to everything and all I have to do is create a new "label" and archive it in the folders.

With Outlook what I run into is that I can create the rules, but if I make the rule to automatically sort to a certain folder, I the subfolders do not become bold when a new email comes and I may miss it.



So, my question is.. can you create a rule that will override all previous rules (all my rules are set to sort incoming emails to specific subfolders) to only work when I manually run my rules.

Thanks
