![]() Is it possible to set a rule to flag emails that are received on a day of the week? I need to review and respond to all emails that come in on Friday and I want to ensure none slip through the cracks Thanks |

You can do it with a script associated with a rule to process incoming messages. e.g. the FlagFriday macro below. I have included a macro that will enable you to test on a message in your inbox. Messages sent on Friday are flagged.
Because of Outlook security, you will almost certainly need to self certify the vba code - http://www.gmayor.com/create_and_employ_a_digital_cert.htm Code:
Sub TestFlag() Dim olMsg As MailItem On Error Resume Next Set olMsg = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1) MsgBox Weekday(olMsg.SentOn) FlagFriday olMsg lbl_Exit: Exit Sub End Sub Sub FlagFriday(Item As Outlook.MailItem) If Weekday(Item.SentOn) = 6 Then Item.MarkAsTask olMarkToday Item.Save End If lbl_Exit: Exit Sub End Sub

I am new to scripts in outlook. If possible can you provide simple step by step instructions or a place on the web with easy to follow steps

The process is essentially similar to http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
Add a module to the VBA editor (ALT+F11 - Insert > Module) and paste the code above in to it.

I need to create a macro and paste the entire text you posted or just a section?

The macro is the text in the code panel. Actually two macros. You don't have to create anything. Just copy and paste into a new module.
