Routing Mail (2000 SR-1)

[Chuck Tucker]

I have a couple of email accounts that all get downloaded when I click on Send/Receive; however, all the mail ends up in my one Inbox folder. I would like to route email from one of my accounts to a separate folder. I can find all kinds of ways to route the mail based on sender, etc., but nowhere can I find where it will route based on the account.

rules wizard should handle it - if there isn't an option for by account, use header contains and use your email address or other unique information from the header.

[Chuck Tucker]

Well, that's just the problem Mary. There is no 'account' selection in the rules wizard, and if I used my email address, then every incoming message would be routed to that folder. I only want messages from that one account routed to a particular folder.

thanks anyway,

[MaryJ]

does the second account have a unique string in the header - like it's email address? use the 'header contains' rule and that string.

[Chuck Tucker]

Unfortunately, all I can find in the header is From, To, Cc, Subject and Date -- all of which change from message to message, so I guess I'm out of luck. Thanks anyway.

Cheer up, for I do not believe that all is lost. I just looked at my Rules Wizard options, and I have the option "when received through the specified account" (see attached) that should handle your needs. I'm using the SP-2 version, but I would expect this to be available in your non-SP version.

Thanks David,

It works just fine. I just wasn't burrowing down far enough in the Rules wizard dialog boxes.
