Hi all,
This is my first posting to this group, hopefully I am not repeating an
already discussed subject, apologies if I am.
I am having trouble setting up an email message rule; I want to filter any
incoming email message that does not contain any of my 3 email account
addresses in the 'To' box, to be moved to another folder. I have opened the
Rules Wizard, clicled on 'New', highlighted 'check messages when they
arrive', then placed a tick in the 'where my name is not in the To box'.
Then on the next screen I have placed a tick in the 'move it to the
specified folder', then clicked on the underlined 'specified' and selected
the folder I wish to move the message to, which then changes the underlined
'specified' to the name of the actual selected folder. In the next screen I
have not selected anything, I do not require any exceptions. I then save the
rule, turn it 'on' and run it. The result is that it transfers every email
message that I receive, to the specified folder, whether the 'To' box
contains any of my account email addresses or not!
My aim is to filter any message that is not addressed to me (presumably
spam, still don't know how I receive them in the first place!) into a folder
to be deleted. Can anyone help?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tim Rowe
