Creating a Rule that Also Removes Email from the Server


If you choose to forward your email to another email account you will need to either continue to maintain your O365 email account ensuring you do not go over quota, or delete the forwarded emails from the O365 server. This involves adding one simple action to the rule. 

 

Follow the instructions exactly as above, then click the plus button under  Do the Following: (on the right) and add delete. 

 

To also delete the emails from the server, simply add a delete action under Do the Following.
