Move emails to a folder rule (Time based)

G

George Lake

Hi.

I have a rule that moves some emails to a folder based on the senders
email. I would like to have outlook move all emails form the folder to a
second one that are older than seven days.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

PS, how do you create a custom rule?

Rules act on messages when they are received in the in-box or sent. Outlook
has no way of going back to move items after they have been received. You
could probably write a little VBA routine to do what you want - see
http://www.outlookcode.com for some samples or repost in an Outlook
programming group for some potential help.
