Fw: E-mail organization

[Ken Thompson]

All,

John Pavlick sent this to meto guide me in the setup of Outlook Express to automatically send certain e-mails to a specified folder.  I followed the instructions and it works like a charm, so I am forwarding it to the group, at John's suggestion, for all to use, if needed.

Thank you John,

Ken

Ken,

 In Outlook Express v6 there is a "Message Rules..." Item in the Tools menu. That should work the same way. Select the Mail...  item in the sub-menu. You need to be in the normal view for these tools to show up. If you're viewing an Email message the toolbar changes. Basically you would select the "Where the To line contains people" rule in the conditions box. The "To" is the NSRCA discussion list (discussion at nsrca.org). You can edit the Email address that it uses by clicking on the hyperlink in the Rule Description box if the selection dialog doesn't appear. The Action box would be "Move it to the specified Folder". This would be the folder where you want your NSRCA mail to go. You can create the new folder here if you haven't already. I can't post to the list here (I'm at work). If this works for you, forward my message to the list. If not, let me know what you're having a problem with and we'll try to figure it out.

  Hi John,

  Any idea how to set up a individual inbox folder if I am using Outlook Express?
  I don't have an "Organize" tool.
