Facebook rule?

Default Facebook rule?

Office '07



I tried to create a rule that would cause all Facebook posting email alerts to go to a folder called Facebook under Inbox. The problem is that Outlook wants the header to come from a contact already in your contacts--which is absurd in this case. Further, I want the select criteria to be the domain (Facebook) and not the name (Joe Blow's FB page). Can someone show me where I'm going wrong in my rule process?

Thanks for the link. I visited the page and followed the instructions as best as possible but they do not seem to specifically tie to Outlook '07.

Possibly someone here can find where I've gone wrong. Here's what I've done:

Step 1: checked 'on this machine only' and 'from people or distribution list'
Step 2: apply rule after arriving from 'facebookmail.com' and 'move to Facebook folder. (I had entered facebookmail.com within the bottom box on the Rule Address screen that says From)

When I receive an email notification the email is not going to the specified folder?

Try just using Facebook.com as the domain instead of Facebookmail.com
