script to clear out categories on incoming emails
Am 27 Jul 2006 13:37:22 -0700 schrieb :
Did you write that code into the module "ThisOutlookSession"? Additionally, the security setting must be medium at least to allow scripts, then please restart Outlook. -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook -- www.VBOffice.net -- I use categories to sort emails (and rules to automatically assign categories to incoming email), and have custom search folders to display emails from each category. For those emails that I haven't assigned a category yet, I have a search folder that looks for emails with no category. This works great...unless other people have rules on outgoing email to assign categories that I don't have. Unfortunately, I can't create a search folder who's filter is "Category my_category 1 OR my_category2", etc. So, I want to create a script-driven rule that first removes all categories on incoming email, then I can let my other rules run to assign my categories. I am an absolute Outlook macro beginner, but cobbled together the following code from samples in this group and other websites... (this is just test code to see if I can manipulate the categories correctly) Sub test2(Item As Outlook.MailItem) MsgBox "Mail message arrived: " & Item.Subject Item.Categories = "Greg" Item.Save End Sub I have a rule to run this script first on every incoming email. However, it doesn't appear to work - I don't even get the msgBox (a test line), let along the test category assignment. Can someone help? Thanks
