    Solved: Server rules: moving mail to a public folder

    Hi all

    My system is Outlook2000/2003 on a Exchange 2003.

    Case: A user goes on hollyday and wants all incomming email to be moved, so
    Is it possible to make a server-side rule in Outlook that moves all incomming email to a certain public folder. The public folder is not mailaktivatet.

    I am new with VBA, so any help will be usefull

    Regards Rico

    Hi and Welcome to VBAX!

    I don't have Exchange so I can't test along with yah.

    It seams to me you don't need any VBA to accomplish this. With a simple mail rule this could be done? (At least it should if you can access the public folder from the target machine)

    What to do:
    1. Choose Tools | Rules Wizard
    2. Choose New
    3. Choose Check Messages when they arrive -> Next
    4. Skip this step choose next and acknowledge the msgbox all mail wil be checked.
    5. Check: Move to Specified folder (Below in rule discription press specified to browse to the public folder) -> Next
    6. Skip this step - Next
    7. Give the rule a name and make sure "Turn on this rule" is on.
    8. Press Finish
    In my opinion that should work

    Enjoy!

    Thanks for the reply

    Hi Mos Master

    Thanks for the reply, but I found out that rules (server) only works with mailactivatet folders

    Regards Rico

    How do I "close" the thread

    Hi Rico,

    You're Welcome of course!
    You can mark the thread solved in the way I describe in my signature..

    Cause I don't have Exchange installed I'm not able to test for you. But tell me the following:

    Are you able to move the email to that folder by hand? If so I can imagine we can build a custom rule to move the mail by code if it works the same as in normal outlook. (And I would be surprised if it didn't)

    Later..
