One of my users (executive) wants a search folder that looks for messages in
the inbox that are unread and the messages are from "internal" company users
only. I've created the search folder and it works fine for all the conditions
except it is dumping in messages from outside the company. I added an
advanced condition where the "from doesn't contain @" and the "from doesn't
contain <>", but nothing seems to work including adding wildcards to these
conditions. Any suggestions?

did you try it without the from <> condition? Internal mail won't have an @,
so that should be all you need. If receipts or NDRs are showing in the
folder create a view to hide them.

I've tried that, but I'm still getting external mail in the folder.
