Hi all, first post, don't use forums much and sure will appreciate any help

OK, I have Office 2007 installed and recently became an avid fan of OneNote 2016 (full desktop install). It's free and just awesome. I have my registered Microsoft email set up and when I log in and create an email to me@onenote.com, it appears in my preset notebook. Awesome, no problem.

I'm trying to set up a rule up in my Microsoft account so when I email myself with the rule criteria, the rule automatically forwards it to OneNote. It'd be good to do this as when I'm on somebody else's computer, or in some other place, emailing myself with the rule should forward it. But it doesn't.

Let's say my address is blahblah@hotmail.com

I have the rule

If subject contains *#* then forward to me@onenote.com

So, I'm at somebody's house who uses the email address barry@worldbrain.com. I want to put in my notebook a particular file so I create an email, add the file, and address it to blahblah@hotmail.com with the subject "*#* Research paper about recycled paper".

So I thought the process here is the email would hit my inbox (which it does) and the rule says "aah, it has *#* so I'll forward it to me@onenote.com", but it doesn't.

Can anybody see what I've done wrong here and any suggestions how to fix it up so it works?

Thank you.
