Rules as VBA
Recently I moved to MS Exchange Server account on my Outlook 2003 and
I was surprised that there is a limit for the rules that I could have active. I used to have more than 60 rules and now I have right to run only 25.... As I understand that the limitation is on the server side so there is nothing I could do on my local Outlook rules wizard. I'm searching for workaround and I think that I could do it by VBA. I would ask for a help with some guidelines how to write my rules as VBA code. Thanks! |

Rules as VBA
(Have to ask...)
Why do you need 60 rules? Are there some that are merely nice to haves - such as automatically filing return receipts in a specific folder? Keep in mind that if you go with VBA, they'll only run on your specific PC. If the harddrive crashes or anything happens to the machine, they'll all be lost. Not to mention that they'll only run when the machine's turned on and Outlook is open.

Rules as VBA
Thanks Sue,
Most of my rules are just as dch3 writes "automatically filing return receipts in a specific folder". I need them because I receive a lot of emails from different senders and it is very helpful for me to filter them to specific folder. Could you please help me to transform this code (it is on the page that you refer to) to move the messages to some folder and not to make them as plain text? And one more question, is it possible to run this script apart from rules (to put it on a toolbar like a button, or run it automatically)? Sub ConvertToPlain(MyMail As MailItem) Dim strID As String Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem strID = MyMail.EntryID Set objNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") Set objMail = olNS.GetItemFromID(strID) objMail.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain objMail.Save Set objMail = Nothing Set objNS = Nothing End Sub On Sep 1, 5:55*pm, Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] wrote: Seehttp://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=62for other VBA approaches for processing incoming messages. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP * *Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming: Jumpstart * * * for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers * * *http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Svilen" wrote: Recently I moved to MS Exchange Server account on my Outlook 2003 and I was surprised that there is a limit for the rules that I could have active.

Rules as VBA
Yes you are right but still I need some way to filter my emails
because it is easier to manage it. I don't need the rules on another machine because the emails are saved locally on my machine. And if anything happens with it the rules will be the last thing that I will regret for :-) But please, let me know if you know a convenient way to manage everyday mail on MS Outlook from more then 60 senders.
