Default How to make emails with me in the "To" field appear as Blue

Hi all,

I'm new to these forums. I would just like to know how mi can make it that any emails where i am in the "to" field appear in blue and any emails that i am CCd, BCCd on or that go to a DL that i am a member of appear as normal.

Thanks

Chris

Default Color Categories

Voodoo Child,

Welcome - been in this forum for almost a month...it's pretty good.

So, in Outlook 2007 you can use Color Categories with Rules.

To create the rule for any messages sent to you

Go to Tools > Rules and Alerts > Click on New Rule > Click Next (do not pick anything on the list in Step 1 or 2 > check the box 'sent only to me' click Next > check 'assign it to the category category > in the Step 2 box click the blue underlined 'category' > check a blue color and name it what you want > click OK > click Finish > click OK on the pop up.

If you want to apply the rule to everything already in your Inbox:

Click 'Run Rules Now' > check the Rule that you just created.

All other email will appear with no color.

Hope this helps!
