Outlook: Play a Sound Rule

Why it matters: Rolling out now

Users can set up Outlook rules to play a sound or show a desktop alert whenever an email that matches your chosen conditions arrives, whether it’s from a specific person, includes certain words, or meets any other rule criteria you define. These features help you stay alerted to the emails that matter most. #newoutlookforwindows
