Outlook inbox rules.

bothered

Hi ya'll,
I've made mrs bothered an email account and want all incoming mail to her to go into her folder and mine to go into my folder. I've tried setting up a rule for her mail but it moves all incoming mail into hers. What do I need to do?

Easiest way to do it.

Right click on mail sent to Mrs B and click on create rule.

Tick the send to box and select Mrs B's account and click ok.

That should do it.

Best thing - set up separate e-mail identities (profiles.) That way your inbox, outbox, contact lists, etc, are all separate. When you launch OE, you choose the Identity you want, and you can optionally use a password to log onto it for privacy.

Go to File -> Indentities, Manage Identities. Add an identity for Mrs. B, and set up her account in there, with her own contacts, etc.

If you do want to keep it all together in one e-mail identity, go to Tools -> Message Rules, Mail. Follow the example in the attached image to make 2 mail rules, one called Mr B, one called Mrs B. Click the underlined text at the bottom (see red arrows) to specify incoming account and destination folder.

Thanks guys, it works. What I was doing wrong was setting a rule for the inbox and\or Her folder rather than for Her account. Nicely.
