How can I create a rule to move all messages from a certain domain; i.e.
to a microsoft.com subfolder? Is it possible to create one rule to handle this rather than a rule for every user of that domain? |

My mail downloads from Comcast into my WM program. I belong to a group and
the posts come in as 'To' the address of the group, not 'from' the address of the group. I have tried to use the message rule of when a 'to' line contains (here I put the address of the group you have to write to)... This is not changing the mail when it comes in. Am I doing this wrong? My 'To' domain is not something @ something.....It's just the whole address . . Can someone please help me with this? -- musiclover "Jaloba" wrote: When creating the message filtering rule, 1)check "Where the from line contains people" . . . . . 2) add people " do not add the information in front of the @ sign. -- Jack "paulyg" wrote: How can I create a rule to move all messages from a certain domain; i.e. to a microsoft.com subfolder?

Please start your own thread in the future instead of hijacking another's
old thread. Thank you. May I assume you want to use a rule to move these messages to a user created folder? You need a From rule. Don't base it on the display name of the group. Ctrl+F3 will show the message source. It will be: "Group Name" You need a From rule that filters on , not a To rule that filters on Group Name. In general: Have all rules that Delete it from server first. Rules that divert mail to folders next. All others last. Make sure that every rule also has Stop processing more rules checked, unless that option is grayed out.

I think I understand. I belong to a few Yahoo groups and I am a moderator of
a few. My message rules for Yahoo groups are written to use the "To" address for moving messages to the folder I have for each group. I actually use "To or CC". That has worked for me for years. There are a few that don't get caught that way; some messages are sent using bulk emailing and even though Yahoo seems to not be confused, Windows Mail is confused by that. If I must, I sometimes use the group name such as "[GMF]" (with brackets) but I resort to that only if necessary. So it should work to use the "To" address. You say it is not working but I suggest you look closer. Are you totally sure that the address you have in the rule is the address that is in the message? Probably when you look, you will see a discrepancy. "musiclover" wrote in message ... My mail downloads from Comcast into my WM program.

Groups such as Yahoo are mailing lists, and for mailing lists it is normal
for the sender ("From") to be the member and the recipient ("To") to be the group (the mailing list). "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... You need a From rule that filters on , not a To rule that filters on Group Name. |
