Automatically send your SPAM to the Deleted folder (or Junk folder) using Outlook

The following example can be applied to any type of message you wish, for the purposes of this tutorial I have chosen an "***SPAM***" in the Title of the email.

Basically you want to automatically get rid of the SPAM that SpamAssassin or SpamFighter flagged.

Here's the workflow:

SPAM Email Arrives in your inbox. It's automatically flagged as SPAM. It's automatically moved to the Junk folder or Deleted folder.

FIRST ....
Inside Outlook - CLICK the following command chain:
Tools Menu > Rules and Alerts > New Rule > Click "Start From a Blank Rule"

Step One - Select "Check messages when they arrive" Click "Next"

Selecting the Conditions of the rule:
For the purposes of this we'll assume that the email subject line is "***SPAM***" but you can use To Address, from address etc.

To set the move rule up:

In the conditions box check "with specific words in the subject"

In Step Two, the rule is prebuilt. Click on the blue underlined "specific words" and type in the ***SPAM***.

Click Next.

Now we tell outlook what to do with the message.

In section One
Check "Move it to the Specified Folder" click on the blue underlined "Specified" in Section 2 and Select the "Deleted" folder.
Click on "OK"

In step two, check "Run this rule now on messages already in the Inbox"
Make sure "Turn on this rule" is checked

Click Finish

All messages in the Inbox with the words "***SPAM***" will now have been flagged with the selected flag and moved to the selected folder.

Whenever new messages come in with this rule .. they will be moved to the deleted folder!!
