Outlook rules - if/and/or statements?
Hi, isn't it about time outlook upgraded their rules so that you didn't have to create separate rules for incoming and out going messages? Having to create 2 rules every time i want an email to and...
Has this been done by now or is this still impossible? I don't see any way to do it, but maybe I'm just blind. I find it odd that not more people have liked/replied to this request. It's such a massive inconvenience.
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"
- 100% correct, the conditions are only AND conditions, no OR conditions, so ends up creating multiple separate rules when it could all be in 1 rule.
For example: moving messages when from sender A OR with abc in the subject 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.
