Outlook 2003: No "AND" "OR" operator in message rules

R

Richard

I just upgraded from Outlook Express to Outlook 2003, and
found this issue to be particularly bothersome.

In Outlook Express, I could save time by using the "OR"
operator when I make rules where an action takes place if
the message matches any one of the criteria I list.
However, when I imported those rules (and made new ones)
in Outlook 2003, there is only an "AND" operator when I
have several criteria. Thus my mail doesn't sort
correctly.

Is there any way to regain the "OR" functionality? I know
it exists within each criteria (for example, if the sender
is this person OR that person), but I can't figure out how
to make a rule's action dependent on just any one of the
criteria I list for it (for example, if the sender is this
person OR if the subject line has this word, then take
this action, etc.).

Also, did anyone reply to an earlier post that asked how
to prevent duplicate messages from appearing in different
folders after applying multiple rules to it?

I might just switch back to Outlook Express, this is so
troublesome.
