How to: Automatically delete incoming e-mail from a specific address in Outlook Web Access.
Solution:

    1.       Log into Outlook Web Access (OWA) with your UMKC SSO username and password.

    2.       In the bottom-left portion of the screen, you will see a list of items - click on RULES. If you do not see a list, you will see some small icons - click on the white arrow above the icons to expand the list, then click on RULES.

    4.       The Edit Rule window will open. Enter a name for your new rule in the first box. In the "From field contains" box, enter the e-mail address for the mail you want to automatically delete. Leave the other boxes blank. Under the THEN section, click the radio button next to DELETE IT. For example, if you want to automatically delete all incoming mail from John Doe at Sprint, the window would look like this:

    5.       Click SAVE AND CLOSE in the upper left-hand corner of the Edit Rule window.

    6.       You will now probably see an error message that begins, "Before you can create, modify, or delete rules from Microsoft Web Access?" Click OK on the message window

    7.   Click SAVE AND CLOSE again on the RULES window (you'll notice that your new rule is listed at the top of the Rule Name list.)

     

    Now, any mail sent to you from johndoe at sprint.com will automatically be put into your DELETED ITEMS folder.
