Hello,
How can I set up a rule to handle mail conditional on both the sender of
e-mail and the person (if he or she is a different person) on whose behalf
the e-mail was sent?
I ask this question because I use rules on incoming e-mail to sort messages
into one folder with e-mail from senders in my outlook address book and
another folder with unknown senders - usually mostly spam as you can imagine.
I have noticed that it doesn't work quite right when e-mail is sent by one
person "on behalf of" another. (e.g. mail from (e-mail address removed) on
behalf of (e-mail address removed)). When such a message arrives, the rule
that sorts the mail identifies the sender as (e-mail address removed) and
takes no notice of (e-mail address removed). So if Bob has not given me Al's
e-mail address to add to my contacts, then the messsage gets shunted into the
ignominy of the unknown senders folder.
When I noticed this behavior, I tried to amend my rule to include behavior
based on this type of sender, but I can't see how to do so.
So, my question is: How can I set up a rule to handle mail conditional on
both the sender of e-mail and the person (if he or she is a different person)
on whose behalf the e-mail was sent?
In case it's relevant, I am using Outlook 2003 and all my e-mail comes in
from a POP3 server.
Thank you in advance for any help that somebody may be able to provide.
