I am trying to setup a mail rule that will place incoming e-mail into one
folder except when it is from a specific user. I could do that with XP but
vista does not seem to have that option. Is it possible? can anyone help?



Thanks!

Windows Mail message rules are identical to those found in Outlook Express.

Can that "one folder" for non-specific emails be the Inbox? If so, just have a
rule that directs mail from that specific sender into a custom folder.

No. I would like the message to go into a folder other than the inbox.

Create a folder.
Create a rule to move the message to that folder.

Yes, I have done that.. this is what I have.

John.smith@xxxxxx needs to go into the folder in the inbox called
company. my mail rule says any incoming sender with the "@company.com" goes
to the company folder in the inbox.
I have sue.jones@xxxxxx and I want that e-mail to go into the
inbox/company/sue jones folder. I created a mail rule that says if the
sender is "sue.jones@xxxxxx" put it in the sue jones folder in
inbox/company/sue jones.

Right now anytime sue jones sends an e-mail it just goes into the company
folder.

Outlook use to have a way to say if anyone from "@company.com" put it in the
company folder EXCEPT if it is from sue.jones@xxxxxx.

Anyone?

THanks!

Make sure the sue.jones@xxxxxx rule comes before the other rule.
Also, make sure each rule has as its final action "Stop processing more rules."
