  2. Choose the folder where you want all messages from that sender or set of senders to be moved, and then select OK.
  3. After selecting OK, the rule will be applied to all incoming messages.

If you’d like to do more than just move the message from a specific sender or set of senders to a folder, select More options. The rules settings menu will open.
