    Outlook 2013-Rule Not working.

    Dear All,

    I am using Outlook 2013. There are few emails which I receive on daily basis in defalult Inbox folder. I have created a rule to move these emails to another folder "Other". This rule is doing good.

    Now, from these moved emails, I need to foward certain emails which is received from specific Email id + consists of word in subject line and to be forwarded to specific group of emails groups. I have created this group but that doesn't work. Even though I have kept this particular rule at the top, it is not working.

    Kindly guide me how to make this rule work.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Kundanlal

    Re: Outlook 2013-Rule Not working.

    You will have to make sure the rule picks up the correct folder and what it is checking.
    You have not explained what each rule does en how it handles the incoming mail and if it marks it as read, does the rule check new mail? Then it must be unread.
    If you want to forward AND move I suggest you modify the rule to first forward the mail when it arrives and then move it to the folder.
    Read your rules carefully and you will probably see where it goes wrong

    Re: Outlook 2013-Rule Not working.

    Thanks for reply.

    My appologies.. Should have been more clear in my above post.

    1. Checked your suggestion.
    2. Actually, I am receiving mail from a specific mail id say [email protected] pertaining to different city branches (Say 9 branches) marked to that city branch head with a cc to myself.
    3. Expect One city, all branch heads are posted, so I need not send these (8) emails database/content received from email id [email protected] to anyone. Instead, I would be moving these 8 emails received by me as a CC to "Other" Folder. I have created Rule for this to move all such unread emails as and when received from specific email say [email protected] to "Other". It is being done automatically and working fine.
    4. In respect of One City, as the branch head is not available, I need to forward email received from [email protected] and pertaining to that city to his subordinates. So I have created One more rule which says.. Apply this rule after message arives from [email protected] and with " mail subject" or "city name" in the subject line, forward it to (email ids where I need to forward)".. As per your suggestion, I have now added one more condition here as "and move it to the "Other" Folder".
    5. I have kept this fowarding rule first in order followed by moving rule and other rules
    6. All these mails received from [email protected] are Not Read status only.
    6. Will check in couple of days working of these rules.
    7. Please suggest me if I am going wrong.

    Thanks once again.

    I think what you’ve done should work
    I’m not a great fan of the rules in outlook, they’re very user unfriendly and cannot really be edited outside outlook, I was used to GroupWise where the rules could be edited, looked a little a vb script and you really make it very specific
