Step-by-step:

1) Shut down Outlook.

2) Restart Outlook using a second mail profile that connects directly to the other mailbox.

3) Create your rules, remembering that only server-based rules will work in your scenario. See http://www.slipstick.com/rules/serverbased.htm

4) Shut down Outlook.

5) Restart Outlook with your usual personal mail profile.

The rules you created in Step #3 will continue to be applied, by the server.

Sue,

I did create a second profile with separate rules. But Outlook only
supports one profile at a time. I have to exit and restart Outlook in
the other profile, run the rules, exit and restart Outlook back to my
main profile.

I don't know how to configure that second profile to "log directly into
that mailbox" as you suggest.

Is that the way to run the secondary account rules while Outlook is in
the primary profile and the secondary inbox is opened? Please point me
to a few more details on how that is accomplished. Thanks!
