Rule for Sent Mail

[Karen]

Outlook 2003

I want a rule which will apply to messages I have sent to ONLY one
particular individual (Diane). I can, of course, successfully create a rule
which will move mail to specific folder which I have addressed to Diane, but
it applies to any mail I send no matter who else it is also addressed
to--Diane AND Joe and Roland.

Is what I want possible?

TIA,

Karen

I don't think so. I can't find any way to test for ONLY one person and no
other in the recipient list.

I would think it possible if you added Diane to a Category (say, purple
category) and categorized each email sent to Diane by category (new mail
message > Options > Category > Purple Category) then add the exception
(Purple Category) to the rule - does that make sense?

I still don't see how you're do that in a rule. There's no
condition/exception I can find that would detect Dianne's address ALL BY
ITSELF with no other recipients, so you'd have to do the categorization
manually, and a manual operation is what the OP is trying to avoid.

Would something like this not work? I would think the "sent to" field would
make it inclusive but not sure...

Rule #1:
Outgoing (from you to Diane):
Apply this rule after the message arrives
From (e-mail address removed)
And sent to (e-mail address removed)
With (e-mail address removed) in the recipient’s address
And with (e-mail address removed) in the sender’s address
Move it to the Diane folder

Rule #2:
Incoming (from Diane to you):
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Sent only to me
And with (e-mail address removed) in the recipient’s address
And with (e-mail address removed) in the sender’s address
Move it to the Diane folder

I think this rule would also fire if others are also included in the
recipient field. The OP wants to detect ONLY Diane in the recipient list.
