additional mailbox rules
You will need to log into the other mailbox with its own profile to
set the rules. However, I think you will run into a few issues that may not suit you. The main issue will be that you need to build rules that are Server side only. (No client rules). See the info on the following link for greater detail: http://www.slipstick.com/rules/serverbased.htm Your rules are for your mailbox. Automation runs only on the "System" or "Default" folders. (Personal Mailbox folders: Inbox, Calendar, Sent, etc.) Nikki Peterson "bunny1" wrote in message ...

I'm really having difficulties setting rules on the additional mailbox.
I thought it would be fairly straightforward to red flag e-mails containing specific key words and moving emails with specific key words to a folder. I logged into the additional mailbox using Outlook Web Access, however the rules wizard does not allow you to red flag emails and when i tried to set a rule to move emails to a folder it doesnt work on OWA or in Outlook. Anyone have any problems with these issues before and is there a way around it? Thanks |

You will not be able to use OWA for this.
You need to open the mailbox in it's own profile and set up the rules there. But let me reiterate, they have to be SERVER SIDE ONLY rules or they will not work unless you are logged into the profile. Maybe a rethink on how you are implementing the use of this other mailbox may be in order. Why is a separate mailbox being used? (Name, Multiple persons, etc) Is this something that could be accomplished using a Public Folder? Perhaps if you explained the whole purpose and what the goal is, we could help offer a cleaner solution. Nikki "bunny1" wrote in message ...
