How do i delete some rules that I have made in outlook?

[john richards]

A long time ago I went crazy and made color rules for everyone I know, so
that when they sent me an email they would all be color coded. Unfortunatly,
now I want to delete some of those rules because I can't make new ones.
I get a "You cannot add another color rule because you have exceeded the
maximum number of rules for this folder."
How do I go back and delete the rule for these people that I never get
emails from anymore?

In Outlook, Tools - Organize (to turn the pane on), click Using Colors,
click Automatic Formatting in the upper right and delete whatever you want.
