Organize mailing list messages
If you subscribe to a mailing list (also called a distribution list or alias), the Mailing List Manager can automate tasks. For example, it can move messages to a folder, add the messages to a category, and mark the messages as read. The Mailing List Manager also helps keep your mailing list messages from being classified as junk e-mail.
For each mailing list that you subscribe to, you can set up a mailing list rule that contains your specific preferences for that list.

On the Tools tab, click Mailing Lists.
-
Click New
. -
In the Name box, type the name that you want to use for the mailing list.
-
In the List address box, type the e-mail address of the mailing list.
