    What your doing in your code is creating an Inbox Rule which is a Mailbox specific rule so will only affect message that are arriving in the Mailbox you created it in

    Please have a look at attached response. But the rule i have created did'nt showed up in my ecp portal under mail flow -> rules. Any help would be apptreciated.

    What you see in Mail Flow rules are Transport Rules that are applied in the Transport Stack and affect every message that is processed by for your tenant. The only way of creating those type of rules programatically is via the Remote Powershell cmdlet New-TransportRule eg https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/exchange/security-and-compliance/mail-flow-rules/manage-mail-flow-rules
