Mail not following rules set by outlook

Hello everyone,

I cannot figure this one out. I have rules set up in outlook to sort mail into folders, but ios mail will not follow them. The folder shows up in ios mail, but all the emails still go to inbox while the folder remains empty. I am running ios7.1

Also, is there a way to turn off notifications for this folder only? I would not like to be alerted when mail arrives in this folder, but still alerted for mail arriving at my inbox.

Thanks

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1

I am aware of this discussion but I can not find a solution to my problem there. I know it is directly related to what I am asking about but my specific problem is not adressed, at least not in a way that I can understand.

After reading that thread over a few more times and doing some more research, what I found is that what I am asking to do is impossible. IOS mail cannot follow rules made by exchange that are client side only. Sorting mail by keywords in the subject line is a rule that can only be applied on the client side and not the server side.
