How can we improve Outlook on the web?

sweep rules are not created

(Outlook New Look) Sweep rules are only created if I move messages to deleted items folder.
If I move messages to other folders using Sweep, it will not create a rule . Fix it.

    Please allow us to create sweep rules based on the incoming from domain and not just on the entire senders address. It is not very efficient to create a new rule every time you get an email from someone else at the same company like when our TAM changes at Microsoft.

    I would like to be able to categorize emails as they come in, then use the sweep feature to sweep those emails to folders after a few days.

    Right now, the sweep option allows us to define a sweep rule based on the from address only. Please allow more flexibility to fine tune the rule to include specific words in the body/subject too. An example: the email address maccount@microsoft.com is used to send both billing information as well as forum notifications for which I am subscribed.

    Add the ability to put additional criteria on sweep rules. Basing just on sender is not specific enough. Would be great to at least have:

    - Recipient
    - From
    - regex match for bonus points :)

    Even better would be to just integrate this with normal rules and support all of the same conditions and have it available in Outlook Desktop.

    After creating "Sweep Rule" from Inbox (Message List), there is no rules in "Sweep Rules" section but they are listed in "Rules" section.

    It would be great if sweep rules could have the same configuration settings as regular rules (i.e. subject and sender)
