How to apply rules to selected messages

[Guest]

Is there a way to select a number of messages in a folder (say "Inbox") and
then apply the rules to only those messages? I don't want to apply the rules
"as they come in" (or as they are sent out).

Also, are they any programming (scripting) options for creating my rules?
Something like:

FROM = <message>.<from>
if PersonalFolders.FROM exists then
move <message> to PersonalFolders.FROM

Thanks!

No. Only folders and their content can be selected, but no singele
mails.

Deactivate the rules.

Something like:

FROM = <message>.<from>
if PersonalFolders.FROM exists then
move <message> to PersonalFolders.FROM

Not with Outlook rules but possibly with VBA
