We recommend creating rules using from webmail instead of through Outlook.
Rules added to Outlook will only run while you have Outlook open. These rules cannot move or forward emails to another mailbox.
Rules added to webmail can run all the time, whether Outlook is open or not. Also the rules can include forwarding and moving emails and will happen whether you are in Outlook desktop app or not.
