Multiple Account Email Rules

[Guest]

In Vista there is now a multiple mail account option instead of multiple
identities that was in XP. Yet there is no way of separating out incomming
mail by account name in the email rules

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

On the contrary, it is very easy to separate incoming mail by
account name.

Thanks for your reply. With two account names how do you separate (copy) the
incomming mail into two separate folders via a rule, there is no option to
select on an incomming mail address.

I too would like a response. In OE, we could switch identities and keep the
accounts separate, but in Mail, this doesn't appear to be the case. How
would we resolve this?

Did you scroll down and see Where the message is from 'specified account'?
Then select Move the message to 'specified folder' and stop processing more
rules.

Click on 'specified account'
Select the other account.

Click on 'specified folder'
Click on new folder and create a folder for the other Inbox.

The rule condition you want is "Where the message is from the specified account".
Do not filter on the "To" or "Cc" email address because that will miss incoming
messages that were Bcc-addressed.

Go to Tools, Message Rules, Mail, New...
and the wizard will guide you through the creation of a new message
rule. You should wind up with two rules looking something like this:

1. Where the message is from the 'Guy' account
move it to the 'His' folder
and stop processing more rules.

2. Where the message is from the 'Girl' account
move it to the 'Hers' folder
and stop processing more rules.

Note: Substitute your existing account names for what I've called
the 'Guy' and 'Girl' accounts above.
The new folders can be named anything you want, and they can
be created as part of the rule creation process.

Gary, thank you very much for your post. I tried several versions of Tech
Support and got nowhere solving this issue until I read your post, and
several other related ones whose source I can't recall. I followed your
steps exactly and everything is now set up for easy access for my husband.

Glad to have helped.
Note that the newer Windows Live Mail separates mail from different
email accounts without needing any message rules.

 

[Fran]

Your advise was very helpful. By any chance do you know how to delete a rule
once you've created it?

once you've created it?

Tools | Message Rules
Go to the proper tab, highlight the rule and click Remove.

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Sure, just go to the same screen where you created that rule:
Tools, Message Rules, Mail, select the rule, Remove.

Gary,

Thanks. I was able to remove the rules I didn't want. I guess I just kept
looking at setting up rules and missed the other area.

Thanks again.
