Outlook Express
Make your life easier
Do you share your mail program with someone, do you receive mail through one account and email address. Sometimes messages are mixed and you spend hours sorting and moving them to your own folder.
Let Outlook
Express give you a hand with Inbox Assistant
through Inbox Rules.You can access Inbox Assistant from Tools menu.
By enabling this feature, your messages will be automatically
moved to the folder you specify as they are received.
No need to worry about losing a message because you're sharing Outlook with someone.
In Inbox Assistant window press Add, in the Properties window tell the assistant what to do with received messages when a message arrives with the following criteria:
You can track a message from the sender (From). If you're sharing one email address and have friends in common, you should create two email accounts with same settings but named differently. We will see how in the next few lines.
For now we'll consider that 2 persons are sharing the program each has his own email.
Next to To: type your email address or pick it up from address book.
Under "Perform the following action", check Move To, press Folder.. and locate your folder
(this will move your messages to your own folder), press Ok.
Inbox Assistant has many other useful features, it can help you get rid of huge messages you spend almost an hour retrieving them.
Under "When a message arrives...", check Larger than and type a size limit in KB e.g 100 under "Perform the following action" check "Delete off server", check "All messages" at the top
of window, if you want to delete all messages that exceed the quota you specified.
You can also set Inbox Assistant to send you a copy of the messages to your office
or other email address. Check Forward to: under "Perform the following action" and type your other address, when you finish click OK.
Now, press Apply To... and select Inbox, then press Ok.
To disable an Inbox Rule, simply go to Inbox Assistant, select the rule and press Remove. You can temporarily disable a rule by unchecking. To make any change select the rule and press Properties.
