Outlook Outlook Express domain extension rule

[alishor_ro]

Hello,

Can anyone help me please figure out how I can set a message rule - in Outlook express - that directs all the incoming emails from recipients with a certain ending in the email address (.com, or .hu, etc) to a certain folder?

thanks a lot,
alina

Welcome to the forums Alina

Which version of Outlook Express do you have?

I don't have Outlook Express anymore, but I checked in Windows Live Mail (which is similar) and couldn't find a way to do it. In Outlook 2010 there is an option to create a rule for messages "with specific words in the sender's address".

Is this the same problem you encountered? The closest thing I could find in WLM is "where the from line contains people" - however this wouldn't allow you to use specified domains, only contacts and names.

Hello Ian,

thanks for such a quick answer, this is actually my issue : specific domains.
Indeed, I found the right rule in Outlook 2010, but it seems Outlook Express doesn't have a similar one.

Perhaps I should switch to Outlook 2010.

In Windows Live you can do it by setting a rule in Messages. You can catch all .com endings by typing *.com in your message rule.

It certainly works - I've tried it.

Further to my earlier post I have now checked this on Outlook itself and find that it works well.

Basically the set up is the same, although there are a few slight differences between Outlook and Windows Live.

If you need any further help send in another post.

Unfortunately can't get hold of Outlook Express but Outlook and OE are so similar that I would have thought it would be possible.
