How do I move emails into folders manually?

If you do not want to move all the students’ emails into their folder immediately? You can run them manually. Here’s how to do it.

• Go to the ribbon in Outlook

• Select the dropdown on the Rules icon and select Manage Rules and Alerts. Make sure you are in E-mail rules Tab
• Select the Run Rules Now button to bring up Run Rules Now screen

• Select the rule you want to run from Select rules to run. You can run multiple rules at one time simply by ticking all the rules you want to apply.
• Check you are running in the correct folder in Run in Folder – the default is Inbox but this can be changed.
• You can apply this rule to
  1. All messages,
  2. Unread messages, or
  3. Read messages.
• Choose which one you want and select Run Now button
• Once the rule has been applied select the Close button

• This takes you back to the Rules and Alerts window. Select OK to complete the action. Check your student’s folder to see the emails you have moved over.
