applying rules to CC'd messages in Outlook 2007
- by Danny Chia
This is probably a silly question, but here goes:
I have two e-mail aliases that forward messages to my main address. I'm trying to create a rule to move all messages that I receive to a specific folder. There is a condition that applies to messages "where my name is in the To or Cc box," but it doesn't let me specify what "my name" is. Not surprisingly, it only affects messages that have not been sent to an alias.
So far, I found a solution as follows: I select the condition that applies to messages with specific words in the recipient's address, and I enter my address and aliases as those "words." It's kind of an awkward hack, but it works.
Normally, this wouldn't be much of an issue, but I have a "family computer" that is shared among my parents and myself, and I don't want their e-mails and mine to be jumbled together in the Inbox.
So my questions are:
Is there a solution that is less awkward than the one I used?
Alternatively, is there a way to assign multiple e-mail addresses (or aliases) to one account?
Thanks!
