If you do not want to move all the students’ emails into their folder immediately, you can run them manually.

Go to the ribbon in Outlook. Select the drop-down on the Rules icon and select Manage Rules and Alerts.

Make sure you are in E-mail rules Tab. Select the Run Rules Now button to bring up Run Rules Now screen.

Select the rule you want to run from Select rules to run. You can run multiple rules at one time simply by ticking all the rules you want to apply.

Check you are running in the correct folder in Run in Folder – the default is Inbox but this can be changed.
