Seeking rule/code to send emails which have been moved by rules to be autoforwarded

[Hoxton118]

Over a long period, I have collected various subscriptions to email newsletters. Each has been forwarded by an Outlook rule to its own subfolder within a folder called "News".

Now I want to automatically forward any email in any folder within "News" to an email address. I do not want to amend each of the existing Rules.



It seems to me that Outlook does not support messages being subject to 2 rules in this way.

Grateful for any ideas for a solution, including VBA.

Thanks.

Rules are run sequentially, so you should be able to create another rule that runs before the rule to move the message, to forward it somewhere, and then move it with the existing rule. Why don't you simply alter the existing rule to add the forwarding?

To be honest, it would be tedious to amend the large number of individual rules which feed into the News folder.

From what I can tell, there are no rules which act on the basis of the (sub)folder in which the email is situated.

So I am 1) trying to automate a tedious task and 2) seeking to understand a new aspect of Outlook functionality, if it exists.

I hope someone can assist. Thanks.

Graham, I think the thread which you solved may provide an answer to my question. I'm looking at it, but if you can adapt it to my question, that would be great.

[gmayor]

So you want me to do the tedious task ?

In the example you quoted an event is used to create a 'forward' e-mail, for any message posted into one of two sub folders of the default Inbox. If you are using a subfolder of a sub folder 'News' of Inbox then the syntax is slightly different e.g. for a sub-subfolder 'Newsletters':

Set NewsLetters = GetNS(olApp).GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).folders("News").folders("NewsLetters").Items

Using that example you would need to create an event for each of the sub-subfolders in question. It's just a matter of changing the names and adding others.

The individual event processes in the example simply create and display the message. You could of course do what you wish with the message 'olItem' including sending it to a particular individual e.g.

Private Sub Newsletters_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
    On Error GoTo err_Handler
    Set olItem = item.Forward
    With olItem
        .To = "someone@somewhere.com"
        .Send
    End With
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
err_Handler:
    MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
    GoTo lbl_Exit
End Sub

Thanks Graham. This is how I have attempted to make it work. However, testing the macro by putting new emails in the subfolders has not resulted in any change. The address to which the emails are being forwarded is on the same Microsoft Exchange server as the originating email address. Grateful for any help.

Each folder needs its own unique variable name. You can only apply the variable 'Newsletters' to one of the folders - 'Newsletters' was the example used in the quoted link - more meaningful unique variable names would be required (e.g. the folder names with the spaces replaced by underscore characters).

Note that there were two folders in the quoted link, each with its own variable name and associated macro. You have more than 50 folders here?

If you set the same variable name to multiple folders, only the last folder to be set i.e. folder "NSAR" is the folder associated with that variable name.

You need to create an event for each of the 50+ folders.

Take another look at the link you quoted.

Graham, thanks for persisting. I've interpreted what you have advised in the following code, placed in "ThisOutlookSession", but it's returning a compile error message "Invalid Attribute in Sub or Function" at the line indicated below. Grateful for any further assistance.

The particular error occurs because of the line

Sub MoveFolders()

before the variable declaration. Subs should go after the Private variable declarations.

I see you have given separate variable names to each folder, but you have changed the folder names. The foldernames should reflect exactly the names of the folders - complete with spaces. What I was suggesting was that you name the variables to match the folders e.g.

Set WSJEveningWrap = GetNS(olApp).GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Briefing").Folders("WSJ Evening Wrap").Items

etc, however the numbered variable names you have used should work provided the folder names are correct.

You will need a separate sub for each of those folder variables

Private Sub Newsletters9_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
etc

There should be a space between Set and each variable name and there is no default folder WSJEveningWrap e.g.

SetNewsLetters9 = GetNS(olApp).GetDefaultFolder(WSJEveningWrap).Items

should be

Set NewsLetters9 = GetNS(olApp).GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Briefing").Folders("WSJ Evening Wrap").Items

or as I originally suggested

Set WSJEveningWrap = GetNS(olApp).GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Briefing").Folders("WSJ Evening Wrap").Items

Rather than create dozens of variables and subs for all those folders, Create the code for just one of your folders to test it, then add code for all the other folders to match the code that works.

[Hoxton118]

Thanks, Graham and apologies for the delay in replying.

I followed your advice and produced a single version of the code which could form the basis of other rules, which could perform different actions on incoming emails, depending on the subject. The basic code seems to work.

Many thanks.
