I have a question. A friend of mine is trying to create a simple mail rule. Another friend of her's said it can't be done, but I was able to do it in Outlook Express, so I am more than sure you can do it with Outlook.



Here is the rule.

Condition 1. ALL email having the FROM email address XXX@ME.COM
Condition 2. Message body DOES NOT CONTAIN XX001 *or* XX002 *or* XX003

Action. DELETE MESSAGE if both conditions are met

I was able to do this in about a minute in Outlook Express. But her friend says it's not possible in Outlook 2003.

If any kind person here can post a walkthrough so I can send it to the noob, that would be great.

Thanks,
Bryan
