Here is the thing :
The rules that you created via Outlook Desktop ( Rules & Alerts ) are client-side by default,especially if they involve local folders, this is why they work fine on your desktop, but don't show or function in OWA or mobile apps.

This are guaranteed to be server-side , and will sync across all clients.
When creating rules, check the box to keep a copy of the rules on the server, and log in to the same Exchange account to synchronize.
