Outlook 2007 with 2 accounts

Payton · 31-01-2009 2:40pm #1

Hi, i had to reformat my HD due to issues and I never taught of taking note of what way Outlook 2007 had controled both mine and my wifes email accounts. Basicaly we each have an email account with upc and when a email arrived for me it went in to my mail folder and the same for my wife.
Ive got the emails back up and running but cant remember the "Message Rules" for this setting, Ive tried "Where my name is in the To Box" rule and specified my folder but both my wife and I are getting the same message twice. I know it's a small problem but annoying:D

Not sure about 2007, but for 2003 you would just start with a blank rule > sent to people or distribution list (select your name) > move it to the specified folder

Kind of sounds like you have "move a copy to the specified folder" selected, but for all I know 2007 is totally different...

aye, did you move to your folder or copy to your folder.

also i like to put on a "and stop processing further rules" option

Thanks guys, Tman ive tried that but to no avail. Samhail ive moved to my folder but im getting the mail twice and so is my wife. Ive ha a lok on the net but nothing shows up for it.

so you are getting the same mail 4 times ? hmmm

try disabling all the rules and make sure that you are only getting the email once into your box and outlook is copying it ?

Payton · 31-01-2009 4:58pm

Yes Im getting it 4 times, there seems to be no differance between the 2 sets of Rules, where my name is in the To Box it doesnt ask me for my email address to check which email it's using. Ive just deleted all the rules and started again and still getting them 4 times

samhail · 31-01-2009 5:01pm

so if you are getting them 4 times with no rules the problem is somewhere else.
i assume you werent getting this before you formatted.

are you sure there are only 2 accounts in outlook (u mightnt have set it up more than once... then go in and change the settings to leave a copy of the mail on the POP3 server... hmm)

Payton · 31-01-2009 5:03pm

Sorry only when I have the rules applied i get the mail 4 times, without the rules it just goes into the inbox

samhail · 31-01-2009 5:08pm

what happens when you just put 1 rule on ?
did you put on the rule i suggested ?

Payton · 31-01-2009 5:12pm

when i tick "and stop processing futher rules" it just goes straight to my inbox not my folder

samhail · 31-01-2009 5:17pm

Payton · 31-01-2009 5:19pm
