For years I used Exlife for complex filtering rules on incoming email
into my Outlook inbox, but it doesn't seem to work in Outlook 2007
under Vista.
Is there an alternative?
At my peak, I've had dozens of rule sets checking every new incoming
email message, each having between a few and maybe 4 to 40 complex
compound conditions (e.g., or's of multiple and's of multiple or's).
The main action for each ruleset would be to move the email to a
particular folder for that kind of message (based on subject or body
substring, &/or the sender, &/or whether I was to: or cc: or bcc: &/or
whether there was a reminder flag set, etc.). Sometimes email would
also be forwarded to someone else, or the subject line would be
forwarded to a cell phone.
As a last resort, I'd consider writing my own VBA code, but I don't
have a clue how to trigger the VBA for newly incoming emails and pass
their identity to the VBA code, and keep track of move-to folders as
they get renamed, and process each message fast enough so that I don't
miss the next incoming message. A Vista-compatible add-in seems the
only practical solution, if there is one that can handle complex
filtering rules. Is there one?
Thanks,
