Message Rules based on Keywords in the Message Body

Outlook.com now allows creating rules based on the content of the message! Noticed today that Microsoft has added a new entity to the condition drop-down on the Rule Management screen called Keywords. I don’t know when Microsoft did this, but kudos, anyways! Not later than last week I was googling for this functionality in Outlook.com and found a few posts confirming that as of the time of writing it was not possible to create rules based on what is inside the message, only subject, sender etc.

redir


Today, when I noticed the Keywords condition I created a few rules with the action to delete messages with the typical spam lingo like “ my dearest one” and “ dear beloved in god” instead of allowing them to pass to the Junk folder. It worked! I will have to do some more testing, but it looks like Outlook.com’s spam filtering is finally getting to be on par with Google’s!

The keywords condition allows operators AND / OR and also allows specifying phrases in quotes! Terrific.
