Rules Wizard

[Guest]

I am trying to create a rule in Outlook for incoming mail. I want the
following rule: "Not sent only to me" for incoming mail. I'm sure you can
see where this is going.

Any help on this? Is there an update that allows me to do this or does
anyone know if I can edit the rules (expecting them to exist as a text file
someplace)

Thanks,

Instead of a rule where you define:

<conditionclause>
<actionclause>

you reverse them and use:

<actionclause>
<exceptclause>

So instead of defining:

Apply this rule after a message arrives
sent only to me
<whatever action>
[stop processing more rules]

you would instead use:

Apply this rule after a message arrives
<whateveraction>
except if sent only to me
[stop processing more rules]

To NOT a rule, run the action and then test with the exception clause.

And, no, I don't know where you are going. That was obvious only unto
yourself. There are LOTS of reasons why someone defines a rule with "sent
only to me", exceptioned or not. You left it vague, so I had to leave it
vague.
