I decided to switch over to Outlook 2000 for email, and I'm beginning to regret it. I was using Outlook Express 6. Am I missing something or is the Rules tool a lot more complete and usable in Outlook Express. I had filters set up in Outlook Express which deleted suspected spam for me, and shuffled email from relatives who like to forward everything to a special folder, etc. These imported into Outlook 2000, but it changed them. For instance...
I had a rule that if an email came in with
annoying@aunt.com in the From: field -OR- in the To: field, the message is marked as read and moved to the Spamming Aunt folder.
I'm trying to set up this same rule in Outlook 2k and I can't do this. I can set it so it will move it to a folder if
annoying@aunt.com is in the From: AND To: fields, but not OR. I also cannot make it mark the message as read.
Any Outlook experts have any ideas? I'm using the Rules wizard...is there a standard Rules tool that I'm missing? If not, I think I'll be back to OE shortly.
