Outlook rules - if/and/or statements?
It is very disappointing that Outlook doesn't have this basic feature. Even mail servers from 90th have it. Right now it is only AND statement. So if you need to do something with emails like moving in a folder emails from 2 senders, you can't do email1 OR email2, you must create 2 rules.
Also, you can't use something like "do something with emails from addresses *@some.com", only specify the particular address. (SOLVED)
It is possible via "Keywords -> Sender Address Includes"
Hi oleksiikrutilko,
1) why do you compare "mail servers from 90th" with email client?
2) your statement
Also, you can't use something like "do something with emails from addresses *@some.com", only specify the particular address.
is wrong. Did you ever see "with specific words in the sender's address" condition?
- Hi. Thanks for the fast answer.
1. I assume that rules should be applied on the server side. If no, why does the desctop client load rules ~3-5 sec? If I'm wrong, client and server have different rules, can I create rules on server side with more advanced conditions?
2. I agree, there is such condition "Keywords -> Sender Address Includes", I've missed this because I tried to find it under "From" field.Hi again oleksiikrutilko,
please explain in details what exactly you are trying to achieve and I'll try to suggest something.
Here's what I would like to do:
I would like to change this "and" to an "or" because creating 5 different rules to exclude 5 categories is inefficient when an "or" would be so much better.
