Anyone know how to set up Outlook Express to automatically transfer
all new mail to the local Inbox folder? I know how to drag it to the
local Inbox folder but is there a way to automate this function?
Thanx
Take a peek at OE's built in help file
for example
"
To create a rule for mail messages
On the Tools menu, point to Message Rules, and then click Mail.
Message rules cannot be created for IMAP or HTTP mail accounts.
If this is the first rule you are creating, proceed to step 3.
Otherwise, on the Mail Rules tab, click New.
Select the conditions for your rule by selecting the desired check boxes
in the Conditions section. (You must select at least one condition.)
You can specify multiple conditions for a single rule by clicking more
than one check box. Click the and hyperlink in the Rule Description
section to specify whether all of the rule conditions must be met before
the specified action occurs (and) or whether at least one must be met
(or).
Select the actions for your rule by selecting the desired check boxes in
the Actions section. (You must select at least one condition.)
Click the underlined hyperlinks in the Rule Description section to
specify the conditions or actions for your rule.
You can click contains people or contains specific words in the Rule
Description section to specify the people or words you'd like Outlook
Express to look for in messages. If you enter multiple people or
multiple words per condition, use the Options button in the Select
People or Type Specific Words dialog boxes to further customize the
condition.
In the Name of the rule box, select the default name, type a new name
for your rule, and then click OK.
Notes
You can create a new rule by selecting an existing one on the Message
Rules tab and clicking Copy. This is helpful when the new rule you want
to create is similar to an existing one.
You can create a rule from a message by selecting a mail message in the
main window and then on the Message menu clicking Create Rule from
Message. This helps by automatically filling in the name of the person
on the From line; no other information from the message, however, is
entered into the rule. "
