Hi all,

I'm very familiar with Outlook Express rules but am having trouble using
rules in my Outlook mail at work.

1.  I am trying to create rules to sort mail if the From field has a match
OR there is a certain match in the Subject field.  All I can get is the AND
function, not OR.  In OE you can change the AND to OR but I can't see how to
do that in Outlook.  I've been creating two separate rules but would like to
do it in one.  Can I ?

2.  When the rules sort to different folders, it does not seem to "Stop
processing more rules" - what happens is the same message goes to two
different folders if another match is found.  How can this be prevented ?  I
want a message to be sorted once and then never checked again.  Is there a
trick for this ?

any help would be greatly appreciated !

Mike

1) You'll need two rules.

2) Make sure you have the "stop processing" action in the rule(s) that come higher in the list than other rules that could act on the same messages.
