Then don't create a new rule for each person, edit your existing rules.

| new rule.

|| Alphabetizing rules is a BAD idea. Rules run in the order they are
|| created. Alphabetizing them defeats the purpose of having rules run
|| in a certain order. The rule to delete anything from xyz@xxxxxxx
|| would run at the end of your rules where the rule to move anything
|| from *@abc.com would run first and take that email out of your inbox
|| so your later rule would never run on it.
||
|| Create fewer rules. I have been running Outlook for almost 10 years
|| and have less than 25 rules that handle ALL of my emails.
