Can you make a mail rule that is only once

You're looking to create a one-time mail rule!

Yes, you can create a mail rule that only runs once. Here's how:

Method 1: Using a "Stop processing more rules" action

1. Open Outlook and go to the "Rules and Alerts" window (you can find it by clicking on "File" > "Manage Rules & Alerts").
2. Click "New Rule" and select "Start from a blank rule".
3. Choose "check messages when they arrive" and click "Next".
4. Set the conditions for the rule (e.g., specific sender, subject, etc.).
5. Click "Next" and then "Actions".
6. Select "Stop processing more rules" and click "Next".
7. Name the rule and click "Finish".

This rule will only run once and then stop processing further rules.

Method 2: Using a "Delete" action

1. Open Outlook and go to the "Rules and Alerts" window.
2. Click "New Rule" and select "Start from a blank rule".
3. Choose "check messages when they arrive" and click "Next".
4. Set the conditions for the rule (e.g., specific sender, subject, etc.).
5. Click "Next" and then "Actions".
6. Select "Move it to the specified folder" or "Delete it" (depending on your desired outcome).
7. Set the folder or delete action to a specific location (e.g., a folder named "Processed" or "Deleted").
8. Name the rule and click "Finish".

This rule will only run once and then delete the message or move it to the specified folder.

Remember to test your rule to ensure it's working as expected!
