How can I filter marketing emails in Outlook?

Anonymous

I'm using the Outlook app that comes built into Windows 11. Lately, I'm getting a ton of marketing and promo emails, and I'd really like to filter or block them automatically.

Is there a way in Outlook to set up rules or filters to move these emails to another folder, or just block them completely?

Any tips, tricks, or best practices would be super helpful!

    Thanks for your help.

    However, when I right-click the file, I don’t see the "Rule" option.

    Could it be due to a recent Outlook update?
