Outlook rules - if/and/or statements?
In fact there is OR:
That is not a solution. It allows you to do an "OR," but only for the same field. For example, you can specify emails that are From Bob OR Alice, where both conditions are From, but you can't specify things like this:
Emails From Bob OR To Alice
Emails From Bob OR To Bob
Emails that are From Bob OR contain "sales" in the Subject.
I strongly agree. It's 2024 and Outlook cannot do simple OR logic in a single rule. Baffling.
I would like rules for the web-based "Outlook.com" interface to also allow "OR" rules, e.g. I would like a rule that states "sender address contains: aminet, commodore, whdload" OR "subject contains: Amiga" in one rule. I don't consider this to be a complicated rule. Often there is no commonality in either sender name or subject, so an OR rule of this nature would be the only way to capture everything successfully in one rule.

Victor_IvanidzeThis (see image) is not a solution, because it only allows you to do an OR with multiple values of the same field, but you can't OR between different fields, like From Bob OR Subject contains "sales."
Hi rbratton65,

What is not a solution?
