Hotmail rules limitation

Hotmail, now known as Outlook.com, has some limitations on the number of rules you can create. Here are some of the limitations:

  1. Maximum number of rules: You can create up to 50 rules in your Hotmail account.
  2. Rule complexity: Each rule can have a maximum of 5 conditions and 5 actions.
  3. Condition types: You can use the following condition types in your rules:
    • From
    • To
    • CC
    • BCC
    • Subject
    • Body
    • Attachment
    • Size
    • Date
    • Time
  4. Action types: You can use the following action types in your rules:
    • Move to folder
    • Delete
    • Mark as read
    • Mark as unread
    • Flag
    • Forward
    • Reply
    • Reply all
  5. Rule order: Rules are executed in the order they are created. You can reorder rules by dragging and dropping them in the rule list.
  6. Rule triggers: Rules can be triggered by new emails, or by emails that have already been received.
  7. Rule exceptions: You can create exceptions to rules by specifying specific conditions that should not trigger the rule.

It's worth noting that these limitations are in place to prevent abuse and ensure that your Hotmail account remains secure and functional. If you need more advanced filtering capabilities, you may want to consider using a third-party email client or service.
