Outlook 365 has in the web portal version of office a 'sweep' rule that can run periodically through the inbox cleaning up email. The useful option I found was to delete all email older than days from a particular recipient. Mar 05, 2019 Outlook 2016 is a desktop app which is deferent from Outlook.com (Web app).

. Some types of messages won't trigger Inbox rules, including:. Delivery status notifications, which include non-delivery reports and system messages.
Read receipts and delivery receipts that are generated by an e-mail client. Some automatic-reply (Out of Office) messages. Each rule you create will take up space in a hidden section of your mailbox. This section is limited to 64 KB.
The actual amount of space a rule uses depends on several factors, such as how long the name is and how many conditions you've applied. When you reach the 64 KB limit, you'll be warned that you can't create any more rules. If that happens, you'll have to delete or simplify some of your existing rules before you can create more. Some ways you can reduce the space used by rules are:. Delete rules you no longer need. Shorten the names of your rules.
Combine one or more rules that do the same thing. Remove criteria from rules. When you create a forwarding rule, you can add more than one address to forward to. The number of addresses you can forward to may be limited, depending on the settings for your account.
If you add more addresses than are allowed, your forwarding rule won't work. If you create a forwarding rule with more than one address, test it to be sure it works. Links to Microsoft's Outlook rules guides:.
