MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Rules and RSS feeds?
I am trying to put certain items from one RSS feed into a seperate folder as they arrive, the problem is that if I create a rule applicable to one RSS feed, the other feeds all start to be moved to to a different unrelated folder and become mixed. How do I create a rule that is applied to one RSS and leaves the others alone in their original RSS folders? MSOutlook 2007 on Vista 64 Ultimate You'll have to make the rules specific enough so that it only applies to those messages that you actually want to move. Apparently your rule is too generic now.

The rule is specific enough that it does what I want it to do, ie seperate items with specific subjects from the rest of 1 feed, leaving the rest of that feed in the correct RSS folder. It however as the unintended consequence that all other feeds are redirected to a mail folder. Neither the feeds nor the mail folder are mentioned in the rule yet it still moves them? > You'll have to make the rules specific enough so that it only applies to > those messages that you actually want to move.

Remember; I cannot look over your shoulder. From the info provided I can only guess what is going on at your side.

I do have some other rules. The only rule which directs incoming mail to that folder specifically states: Apply this rule after the message arrives through the xx account and on this machine only move it to the xx folder My other rules are identical in format and designed to seperate mail in my inbox according to the exact address it is sent to. I have a total of 5 RSS feeds. I have set up the following rule to split some items out of one feed: Apply this rule after the message arrives with 'word1' or 'word2'or 'word3' in the subject and from RSS feeds with ZZ in the title move it to the XZ folder In order to get this rule to work I also have to check the box Enable rules on all RSS feeds I am quite perplexed as to why this is happening and do hope that you or anyone else can help. Again I'm running Outlook 2007 on a Vista 64 Ultimate OS Much appreciated > So you might have other rules then which apply to your RSS items? > Remember; I cannot look over your shoulder.

This of course jumbles the feeds together and mixes in my mail being direced to the xx folder. Since they are news feeds it means an awful lot of jumbled items in my xx folder making new mail harder to find. I am quite perplexed as to why this is happening and do hope that you or anyone else can help.

I would leave the rules for RSS disabled and use a Search Folder and a custom view to filter which RSS items you see. This way you keep the convenience of only seeing what you want and the ease of administration of all RSS items are in their own feed folder. In addition send/receive will go faster as less items and rules are being processed.

Would that also retain a copy? I need to keep copies of the applicable items and prefer to discard the rest. I had envisaged that Autoarchive would do it if i used rules. If not, whilst I understand your preference not to use rules, is there any way I could use them to make this work? The sorting time is not an issue for me. Thanks again for the input. > Personally I wouldn't go that way. I would leave the rules for RSS disabled > and use a Search Folder and a custom view to filter which RSS items you see.

Your issue is with the rule intended for email also applying to the RSS feeds that you have and not with the actual rule intended to sort your RSS feeds. To the first rule add the condition; Except if from any RSS feed.
