Email rules, also known as email filters or email automation rules, are predefined actions or conditions set up within an email client to automatically manage incoming emails based on specified criteria. These rules help users organize, prioritize, and manage their email messages more efficiently. You can create rules to help sort your email in student email or staff email. This means that if the email is received from, sent to, or has something particular in the subject, it then automatically gets put into a particular folder, redirects to another email, or is deleted.
