Trends come and go, but for offices they often hang around longer due to the amount of time and effort spent creating and installing a brand new design. photo credit: Pinterest.

I like to set a rule for the messages I receive from my boss. I have a new boss so had to figure out how to do this again and thought I should just write it down for the benefit of anyone else who may need it or for myself for the next time. I want any emails sent from my boss to go into a special folder. I also want it to make a sound when the email arrives. I chose a ring tone so it is different than the default email notification.
